While using Linux I changed a unused partition to two partition one linux one freebsd. Now when I boot freebsd it incorrectly reads the partition and error out and tells me to enter the path of my shell or press enter for /bin/sh. If I press enter it doesn't find sh. I found sh in /stand and type /stand/sh at the prompt but no luck finding it. I them mounted my /usr patition in freebsd and logged in to sh, but still it was read only. How do I log in to change my /etc/fstab? I even mounted the Freebsd partition in linux, but it still was read only even though I told it to mount as rw! Help please.... Rod...
