<h4>How to boot up Fedora 9 from /dev/sdb in room T2107</h4>
These instructions assume that Fedora 9 has been installed on /dev/sdb with the following partition setup:<br />
/dev/sdb1 = /boot<br />
/dev/sdb2 = /root<br />
/dev/sdb3 = swap<br />
/dev/sdb4 = extended<br />
/dev/sdb5 = /home<br />
Boot up the system and when the data recovery card displays a menu of OS choices, choose Fedora 8. A boot screen will be displayed with a 3 second countdown before booting. Press the <ESC> key before the countdown reaches 0. Another menu is displayed listing two Fedora 8 kernels to boot from:
* Fedora (2.6.24.5-85.fc8)
* Fedora (2.6.24.4-64.fc8)
<p>Do not choose either of these. Instead press the "c" key to display a command line. Issue the following commands:</p>
<b>
root (hd1,0)<br />
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686 root=/dev/sdb2<br />
initrd /initrd-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686.img<br />
boot<br />
</b>
<p>Fedora 9 will now boot.</p>
