Thanks for correction. Usually boot disk is mounted at /boot. Your boot disk could be same as root disk (in this case there would not be anything mounted at /boot but just a directory). </blockquote><div> Well, but even the location of the /boot directory/partition doesn't necessarily tell, from where someone booted - suppose, you've got a boot disk /dev/sda. On /dev/sda, there's grub. Grub's setup so, that it boots a system/kernel, which is on /dev/sdb. The system is "self contained" on /dev/sdb. In such a case, the system would've been booted from /dev/sda, but there's no way to tell that, once the "/dev/sdb system" has been started - or is there? </div>Cheers, Alexander </div>-- ↯ Lifestream (Twitter, Blog, …) ↣ <a href="http://alexs77.soup.io/" target="_blank">http://alexs77.soup.io/</a> ↯ ↯ Chat (Jabber/Google Talk) ↣ <a href="mailto:a.skwar@gmail.com" target="_blank">a.skwar@gmail.com</a> , AIM: alexws77 ↯
