Nothing if I boot from the Recovery floppy.
Using the KRUD CD#1 I see boot,dev,hdb,proc

I get errors on this re. no such file or directory.

Nothing using the Rescue floppy.
Nothing using KRUD CD#1 if I select hda2 when it asks which partition
holds the root partition, but I do get somewhere if I select hdb3:

Don't know if it is correct but here is what isn't commented out:

/dev/hdb2 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive
