I thought so too, but you can actually 'tunefs -n (enbale|disable) /' after that you should be able to mount your /. > > It didn't used to do this. > > -Matt I know... If anyone else cares, the current situation about being unable to auto-reboot (halting on /) is pretty annoying and ought to be fixed. There were various promises made that all the changes going on with devices wouldn't cause such problems. This makes running -current in somewhat production enviornments impossible. unless you hack /etc/rc.
