It's been a while since I had to do a recovery with the disk, but as well as I remember, you have to mount the image thusly:
mount /mnt/sysimage [enter]
then:
cd /mnt/sysimage [enter]
then:
ls [enter]
And you should see the files on your computer from the / directory.
Can you give us a few more details? Did you ever have it running with X? Did you do something wrong or edit a file somewhere that's causing the problem?
