Boot the system single user (boot -s at the boot prompt, after hitting spacebar during the countdown). Remount the root partition as read/write (mount -u -o rw /, after you get to a shell). Modify the fstab to correct your error; you may need to fsck the partition where /tmp is located, if it is not /, before you can run an editor; you will probably need to set the terminal type, as well, unless you want to use "cat", or are comfortable with "ed" (setenv TERM cons25). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
