incognito livecd (gentoo based) won't recognize my hard drive?

Question

How do i mount my hd? I looked into /etc/fstab and there's only firmware and portage there so i guess mounting won't work, i need to add my hd to fstab first?

Answer 1

probably a controller issue, can you change the settings in the BIOS from AHCI to IDE?

Answer 2

Your hard disk does not have to be listed in fstab to be mounted. I'd first list the detected hard disks using fdisk -l and then try to mount them using

mount /dev/<hard-disk-id> /mount/point

Both require root privileges so switch over to root using su root and then issue those commands
