I have an old damaged disk holding a SME Server 7 installation. As my backup is not recent enough I would like to try and mount it using my newly configured server. However when I add the drive to my server and set it to slave or sewcondary master the system still boots from the old (damaged) disk and subsequentely halts boot as the disk is corrupted.
In my search to boot the drive I stumbled on
bug 961 (comment 18) which states that it should be possible to use a CD to boot in to rescue mode and then change the partition type to be Linux instead of Linux Raid Autodetect.
The most recent CD I have is from SME 7.0pre1. I have tried this disc but cannot find the option to boot in to rescue mode. If I insert it it presents me with the normal installation screens (check medium, detecting previous install, etc....)
Do I need to do something special, do I need another disk to boot into rescue mode?
