Mount Leopard volume from Terminal

[jashsayani]

I have modified a kext and the OS does not start. Even with Command + S. So I have to restore the original backup.

When I insert the Leopard DVD and Start Terminal from Utilities menu, and try to mount the drive, it says: Unknown special file or file system.

How do I mount the volume so I can replace the original kext ?

Did you have Time Machine enabled?

if so, why not just restore from that?

Is the Boot DVD not seeing your HD?

I dont use Time Machine.

The DVD shows the HD at installation and at the mount command.


All I need to do is access the HD via Terminal and replace the kext file and I'm done!

How do I mount the drive ?
