Access to files on an inactive partition

Dear all, is there any way to access files on an inactive partition ie HD1.1 without booting the device from it? Issue is that we are running 11.6 HF1 from HD1.6 and need now some scripts under /root...

Sure. Just mount them from the command line. e.g.

mkdir /mnt/tmp_root
mount /dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-set.XXX.root /mnt/tmp_root

where XXX is the id of the 'slot' you want to mount. The files will be accessible under /mnt/tmp_root/root

unmount afterwards with 

umount /mnt/tmp_root
