I think the device refered to here is the network device. > Does the error message mean that there is no nfs client available in the > rescue shell? Which root are you using for your rescue? Is it the root of the initrd? Or is it the root of your system's? Because those are two hugely different things. (I already know it isn't your system's because I see the other threads. I will go over there and make comments about it.) But that is your problem. You are in the initrd rescue shell and it is very minimul. It isn't a full system. It won't be able to do these nfs mounts. The initrd level is there to bootstrap to the full system. > Is there any way round this?

I suggest one of these different ways to go. * Work the problem if getting to your main system. Then you will have everything you had before. * Work the problem by booting a livecd that includes your nfs client. * Use other resources available in the very small initrd. I don't remember what is available there. I only rarely find myself needing to deal with it. But if 'nc' is available there then there are hacks (some a little tedious but functional) available using it to copy files. I am going to make comments in your other threads. I think you need to work on getting your main system functional again. Bob
