One can load kernel modules from the fixit cdrom, but as far as i
remember this requires some manipulations.
What i do is, from the fixit prompt:
chroot /mnt2
to go to the full system available on the cdrom under /mnt2. But then
required things are missing, so i do further:
mount -t devfs devfs /dev
because access to /dev is frequently required, and for commodity
set -o emacs
(to have shell history and editing)
export PAGER=more
(to be able to access man pages)
After that one has a more or less standard environment. Sometimes one
needs a writable filesystem, for example for accessing internet
(dhclient, resolv.conf, etc.)
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp
does that.
It would be nice to have a shell script on the fixit cdrom doing similar
things automatically when one accesses fixit.
In your case i suspect appropriate kernel modules were not loaded
and commands failed silently.
