Boot with the installation disk, and select the item from the menu that says "use fixit floppy" (or words to that effect). > How can I get some important files from the disk that I have no backup??? If you have another FreeBSD machine that you can take down for a few minutes, the simplest way is to put the disk in the other machine, mount whichever partition has your data on and copy it over. (You may need to run fsck on the partition first). -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk jraynard@FreeBSD.ORG
