Thanks Joe. That worked fine with the most recent 2009 install CD. It
would be good if someone reading could add the Mac Mini to one of the
lists of supported machines and update the docs to explain this a bit
more.
I can now see the old partition and fsck ran cleanly. (I think...)

Now, when I try rebooting with the current hard drive installation I get to
* Checking root filesystem...
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda4
/dev/hda4:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe........
Where does this suggest the problem might be? The partition is 'good'
when I boot from the CD but bad when I boot from the current kernel?
Strange to me.
Anyway, if it's hard to fix no big deal. At least if I can read it
using the CD then I can copy anything I need off and just do a new
install, assuming there isn't anything really had happening with the
hard drive.
Thanks,
Mark
