I have turned on softupdates on /usr while usr was unmounted, but I can't turn on softupdates on /, because it is always mounted. Normally the answer would be to boot on a floppy, but the machine doesn't have a floppydrive. Is there any way to force softupdate on on a mounted system, or do I have to either move the / to another machine, or move a floppydrive to this machine?
