-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 After poring over the output of dmesg with guidance from Peter Zoeller, I got the idea that maybe the wheezy live system doesn't recognize or automatically mount the local drives by default. I downloaded Knoppix, and it worked wonderfully. It recognized the hd and mounted automatically, I was easily able to correct /etc/passwd, and that of course fixed the problem.
Thanks to everyone who helped me through this one! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.22 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJUNYEDAAoJED6rE5ImPwfDzrgIAKfXbvmS4FmC41tk5V6HL+Tb XVmSeyPlDugp2mL7cr4651CjrtIx437eeQU1pIOXd8xHfLdLQgE3hiPfP1cr8wr1 gTave6RoyX+JQcbvg96rk5DD1WpJLqDtd3mLKkiqc+uDaDYZmSZdme2hdYbrntq2 wtUyrVKtqnIVRxTMmTG/uSL29KIHy05Z6JHF6Z/0ye+rGgHwzMC2FqVplmbyzOyi xhjiUywDw70ugjPdju5LVAo4Z7GAw+AKqGwh6dvgtbrhGMvD01W+ARUeo1n3+/V6 B7kTltvIoBOGXyd4HF5HsV6M5KN9r9bmWJjEzgrXflHP+q1VMcBfe9BJDn2drz8= =xw7A -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
