If you think that the original / file system is in place then you could
probably chroot to the original fs and then be jammin chroot /mnt/sysimage/whatever should do it or use the device that is at
/mnt/sysimage/whateveristheroot/dev/st0 as the device
try
mt -f /mnt/sysimage/whateverisrootfs/dev/st0 status

The whole idea was not to have to depend on the software on the machine to do a restore. I'm not in an emergency situation here. I did this intentionally to scope out recovery procedures before this beast goes on line. I'm still hoping RH will have an answer for me.
Yeah I guess I keep missing the point. got into a mode of "I wonder what CAN be done with the rescue mode.
I would not hold my breath for redhat, but that is just me. there are a couple of bootable rescue cd projects out there and if you don't want to reinstall the os first as suggested then you will probably need to go that route.
someone suggested knoppix ir rolling your own rescue cd is probably not a bad idea either.
