My guess is I goofed something during mergemaster and devd.conf is messed up. (Mergemaster is, undeniably, my least favorite utility). I can suffer the system being down for a while, as long as my wife has access to a handful of files. How would I go about mounting a USB stick, if such can be done in single-user mode? I have several sitting around that I could copy stuff to (I'm sure that's easier than pulling off the backup I made last night, since the backup is in dump format on tape, and since my only bsd box is currently not working...)help
