Hi. I'm running FreeBSD-2.2.8-STABLE on a Pentium 120 with 64 MB ram. / and /usr on on a 1 GB ide hard drive on the first ide controller. / is /dev/wd0s1a, and /usr is /dev/wd0s2e. The /home and other data partitons are on other disks. When I rebooted the PC yesterday to remove a dead floppy drive, FreeBSD wouldn't boot. It loads the kernel, fsck's all the filesystems (all are reported clean), and then dies with: mount: /dev/wd0s1a on /: Operation not permitted. It leaves me in single-user mode with a read only / filesystem. I tried mounting other filesystems, such as /usr, but I get the same error. I also manually fsck'd all systems, but it still won't mount them. What would cause this, and how do I fix it? Please reply to me - I'm not on the mailing list. Thanks.
