Well your situation is good, a fix is reasonably simple.
What I did was to edit /etc/fstab, which is basically a list telling Linux
what to do with filesystems that might be on your various drives.
Here is the kind of thing you will see somewhere in there at the moment:
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
This is telling mount to find a partition labelled with the name
"/boot" (LABEL=/boot), and mount it at mountpoint /boot, using ext3
filesytem.
The problem you have is that more than one partitions on drives hooked up to
your system have got that /boot label tagged onto them, it doesn't know which
one to use, so it is giving up and mounting nothing at /boot.
- From your partition table, it looks strongly to me like your real boot
partition is at /dev/hda1. So all you need to do is edit the /etc/fstab
about LABEL=/boot to read instead there /dev/hda1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
keep the rest of the file the same. You'll need to be root when you
edit /etc/fstab. Make sure it's right, save, then that's it, reboot.
Tip for easy editing if you don't know vi but are up in X, open a terminal
window, type
su -
<give the root password>
kedit /etc/fstab
If you're a gnome guy, use gedit instead of kedit. Then you can edit the file
very easily as root.
