Hello Chodura and unorthodox friends :-)

Problem is this:
I booted using LILO with spelling mistake as "boot=/dev/hda1" instead of
correct 
"boot/dev/hda2". Since that, I cannot access /dev/hda1 which is my DOS
partition 
with valuable data.

So, I tried to boot from CD and trief to mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/c and the
error is:
"/dev/hda1 has wrong major or minor number" whereas the fdisk partition
table 
shows everything o.k. .

Obviously, however, the partition table or the fat1 has been destroyed.

What can I do here to rescue my files (/dev/hda1 has NOT been formatted
since 
error occurence, so the files MUST be there).

simply re-editting and re-starting LILO does no success.

O.k. I will leave it to talents as you are.  hope that helps ;-)
