Datasheet
Now, shut down the computer and reboot.
(f) After rebooting, check that /dev/hdb1 has actually been mounted to
/opt using the command mount. If everything is working as desired,
remove the old data from /opt.old:
cd /
rm -fr opt.old
27. My computer crashed. Can I just press the reset button without risking
anything?
If your computer no longer reacts to your mouse or keyboard, this does not
necessarily mean that your entire system has crashed. Possibly one program
is blocking the mouse or the keyboard, but all other programs are still run-
ning. If your machine can be accessed remotely (serial terminal, network),
log in elsewhere and abort the respective program with killall hprogram
namei. If this does not work, try killall -9 hprogram namei.
If this is not possible, try switching to another console using
Ctrl -
Alt -
F2
to kill the faulty process from there. If the computer does not respond to
any of the keys and network intervention is not possible, wait at least ten
seconds before pressing reset to make sure there is no hard disk activity.
28. How can I switch from a virtual text console to the graphical user inter-
face?
By default, there are six virtual text consoles that can be accessed with
Ctrl -
Alt -
F1 to
F6 . Press
Alt -
F7 to go to the graphical user interface.
