I have a machine that was working fine but then upon reboot one day it failed to come up on it's own. I tinkered a little bit and then finally just settled on trying a make world/kernel. Upon retrying it this morning I see this right after it detected the CDRom drive (same error as before): Apr 15 13:26:28 init: login_getclass: unknown class 'daemon' /etc/rc: Can't open /etc/rc: No such file or directory Apr 15 13:26:28 init: /etc/spwd.db: No such file or directory Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: Then I just #/sbin/mount /dev/da0s1f /etc #/sbin/mount -a #exit And we're back up and running. Ideas? I couldn't find an example of this question actually being answered (tho' it's been brought up before) in the list yet. The only one that seemed answered involved someone who had put /etc on another drive but as you can see: /dev/da0s1a 291M 105M 162M 39% / /dev/da0s1f 7.1G 26M 6.5G 0% /etc Same drive.
