A friend of mine has a slight problem with his suse 6.2 system and 
has asked me to take a look next weekend.  He has added a eide 
cdwriter to his system and in the process has changed the 
master/slave settings on one of his drives (i dont know yet in what 
way its changed but at worst i can look at the cableing)

Now the disk that was changed has his suse 6.2 system on it ... 
and now of course it wont boot.  Now i assume that if i boot off 
floppy (or cd) i should be able to mount the partition(s) manually so 
i can edit the configuration files. i can see that /etc/lilo.conf (and 
lilo rerun) and /etc/fstab will need to be altered to reflect the new 
drive designation (hda, hdb etc) but what other changes will be 
need to be made to get this system up and running again ... (i dont 
particularly want to reinstall the whole thing for him!)

thanks in advance

tim
