I forgot redo the fstab file so now it errors on boot. I can get a prompt and cat the file but get a "file system read only" whenever I try to correct it. Is there any way to get in to modify the fstab at this point. I have a copy of the correct fstab as fstab.bak in /etc. PS this is the second time I have made this mistake, the first time I wiped out the new HDD and started over at the beginning. I can do this but am hoping to find an easier way. Gary Landers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
