Server goes boom?

UPDATE: Recovery went smoothly and my server has been humming away without any further issues. Here's to gentoo, and here's to linode.

My linode was involved in some kind of horrific serverroom accident which left it in a pretty funky state once they got the surviving disks into a working box. Luckily linode has its own recovery live image called "finnix", pretty spiffy. Boot with that, chroot into gentoo, and see if i can bring it back from the dead...

Since I keep forgetting the sequence,
im just gonna leave this here:

# mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
# cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
# source /etc/profile
# export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
(chroot) #
