X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2004 20:36:44 -0000 I just created myself an interesting challenge: - I basically replaced my /boot/device.hints with a nonsensical one (don't ask), it is not a device.hints file at all. How does one recover from that? Booting kernel.old does not fix it for obvious reasons.. W/ -- Wilko Bulte wilko@FreeBSD.org
