Apologies for the length of this email.  Just summarising the current 
situation which is this:

mount -t ext2 /dev/hda8 /mnt/hda8
chroot /mnt/hda8
ls /dev/hda*      nothing
mount /proc   <no error>
mount /sys
error:     mount: fs type sysfs not supported by kernel

fdisk -l - nothing happened - no errors anyway

Hopefully this lot means something :)

Kind regards,

PS apologies if the alignment of the df output is stuffed... you can see 
why I didn't fancy typing this lot by hand :)
