well if broken system is on mmc2 the first mount command should be

Code:

mount -t ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p2 /opt

but you need to insert mbcache and ext2 kernel modules first, see beginning of http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howt...8dc271168d2489. Or do as Milhouse says, his 'nupgrade.sh 1' step probably does exactly that.

after you have /dev/mmcblk0p2 mounted to /opt you can run

Code:

cd /opt/etc
cp -a sudoers~ sudoers
cd
umount /opt

and reboot. This will work if the sudoers~ backup is sane. If not, you can take one from flash but it may not be up to date and may have something missing

Code:

cp -a /etc/sudoers /opt/etc/
