Not possible. "Controller is removed and is no longer available. Replacement is an Asus Symbios SCSI card which appears to be run at SCSI-3 (40MB/s)." Keywords are "no longer available." 2.) I am simply looking for resolutions with what I have. I am also trying to learn how to re-mount drives, etc. Besides, my scenario of a controller card failing and not being able to replace it with a replica cannot be that far fetched. Not all companies can afford to have duplicates of every peice of hardware, my apologies if they are suppose to. > I suppose you could try booting in single user mode and then mount / from > some device like symd0s1a..... and editing /etc/fstab but really see (1) So, at the "ok" prompt how would I go about editing /etc/fstab.
