Getting a BASH prompt HELP!

[tronic]

Here's what I have:
two 120gb HD one to mess around with and another that's in my tivo and has all my stuff on it. I also have a serial cable from 9thtee. I followed the instructions on getting a bash but a little confusied on the last code. Here's what I put:
bootpage -P "root=/dev/hda7 BASH_ENV=\`mount\$IFS- (then I hit enter)
n\$IFS/dev/hda16\$IFS/mnt;echo\$IFS/mnt/`" -C /dev/hdc

Then hit enter and it said something about optitions and -c -m ect. Is this right or do I not hit enter after the first line? Why is the code hdaXX (16) and not hdc?

Also were it says I my drive should be hda7 it comes back to hda4 do I still put the following code with the hdc9?

Also is there a way I can clone my drive and keep the shows and then add the hacks without starting with a clean drive?

One more thing, when I open HyperTerminal in windows to get the bash do I set it up for auto or vt100 and should the port be hardware or none?

That command should be all one line.

bootpage -P "root=/dev/hda7 BASH_ENV=\`mount\$IFS- (then I hit enter)
n\$IFS/dev/hda16\$IFS/mnt;echo\$IFS/mnt/`" -C /dev/hdc

Dont hit enter you are seeing linewrap in your instructions.

Its hda on the tivo which is where you are writing the bootpage to

Also were it says I my drive should be hda7 it comes back to hda4 do I still put the following code with the hdc9?

What?
