[uml-user] Accessing a UML file(cow ?) from a host system

[Markus Moeller]

I have a UML system running on Suse SLES9. After patching the host system the UML system starts up, but I cannot login because of a misconfigured pam.conf (It needs a running network for authentication and the network adapter failed to initialise in the UML system) The uml system is started with: /bin/su -s /bin/bash -c ./linux umid=uml0 mem=256m ncups=1 ubd0=ubd0 ubd1=ubd1 initrd=./initrd eth0=daemon,fe:fd:58:33:8a:88,unix,uml0.ctl ssl=none con=pts selinux=0 con=none con0=xterm con1=xterm root=/dev/ubda2 uml0 The files the UML uses are: file /home/uml0/ubd0 /home/uml0/ubd0: x86 boot sector Is there a way of mounting this file to correct the pam.conf file ? Thanks Markus
