one - which I can't remember the wording but it was basically akin to can't
read from drive hda

interesting - e2label /dev/hda2 - which I believe is the root, gives me the
error about a too high revision (ext3/ext2 thing)

e2label /dev/hda - same error - hda0 (which may not exist) same, hda1 same -
hda3 it give:

/boot

there's two drives in this machine - so I tried
e2label /dev/hdb

same error

e2label /dev/hdb2 gives me
