Essentially I’m trying to get back the ability to boot my machine. I nuked the boot loader on the mbr.
I got a bootloader back by following various opensuse recipes. However, now it boots, but I cannot mount any filesystem. Root is mounted, but any attempt mount anything else fails (anything).
This is openSUSE 13.2. I’m hoping that maybe somebody else has seen the problem and knows what I’m missing.
Had something similar happen to me two months ago, perhaps this will help:
Boot rescue system on the DVD (13.2 64-bit), mount sda root, /proc, /sys, chroot, etc., based on caf4926’s article https://forums.opensuse.org/content…rom-DVD-Rescue (thanks Caf, it was a life saver!), with the --bind mount option for /proc and /sys.

And another grub2 issue in a similar box here, but in a much more convoluted thread: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/507245-Fast-non-stop-beeping-after-GRUB-text-on-boot-screen?p=2709600#post2709600

with what error?
Try mounting in a terminal (verbose), and post it back here.
Explaining what you did to recover the MBR might be useful as well.
