Now apparently my computer thinks there should be a bootable, mountable file on the floppy upon startup. Because I can't get my machine to go through the startup process. It goes down the list of devices and then simply hangs, and asks for the name of the complete shell. How do I edit the /etc/fstab file when my machine won't let me login? Ok, it will let me login as root when I typed "login root" at the #prompt. But the terminal type is set at "su" and I've found that vi and ee can't recognize that. Also typing "setenv vt100" does not work. help. thanks. alissa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
