Once it asks you for your shell in single user mode, you either choose it or just press enter for /bin/sh, and then you want to do this: # mount -o rw /dev/ad0s1a / #mount -a works nicely here too. # /sbin/fsck /dev/ad0s1a Be wary of fixing any issues if you don't have softupdates enabled. Also, you should fsck any other slices that you had mounted at the previous time when the system was improperly shutdown / the filesystems improperly dismounted. -Garrett _______________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Garrett Cooper Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 3:02 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: have bad fstab causing boot error nope that did not work. by the way this is 5.4 version get this message "warning R/W of / denied. filesystem is not clean run fcsk" mount with /dev in it get syntax error
