I am running FreeBSD 3.2. As my PC boots, I hit the spacebar and get the following prompt, at which I type the "boot -s" command for single-user mode. I get the result below, and I don't know what's wrong. If I type "/boot/loader" at the "boot:" prompt, the kernel boots normally. Help!! >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:da(0,a)/boot/loader boot: boot -s No boot >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:da(0,a)boot boot: ____________________________ Eric Saylor Seanet Technical Support ____________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
