- Yes. Answer the first question as appropriate, then respond "repair"
- instead of "install" to the second question. I haven't done this
- myself, but it's supposed to work...
-
- If it tries to execute fsck_??? though, I usually have problems when
- I try to run fsck manually off the install disk. In that case, I type ^D
- and get the root prompt, use "swap -a /dev/dsk/swap_device_name 0
- swap_device_size" to add more swap space, then "swap -d /dev/fakeswap 0"
- before I try running fsck. That fixes it. (In fact, I've modified my
- root floppy to include /etc/addswap which runs those commands so I
- don't have to type them too often.)
-
- Of course, I've got 300MB partitions; your mileage may vary.
