I added the following lines to /root/.bashrc
alias fp='cd /xx/yy'

but after a reboot I still can't use this alias. What went wrong?

try adding it to you /home/dsl/.bashrc file.

Open a new bash shell and it works. Make sure to add it to your filetools.lst file if you want it saved when you reboot if you're on a live CD.
