Now it is promt to enter #/bin/sh path. Having mfsbsd installed allow remotely complete/correct all failed operations that cause normal loading. also AUTO booting mfsbsd in all cases that crash current system: panic, deadlock os something else, will allow to analise many things remotely and save, in some cases, many many time =) >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
