I am able to boot into single user mode, but I can only mount the / fs in read only mode. When I attempt a 'mount -u /', I get the message 'mount: No such file or directory' and I can't create the device since 'cd /dev;sh MAKEDEV wd0s1a' returns 'rm: wd0s1: Read-only file system' How can I mount my root fs in read/write mode so that I can remake the missing devices? --Chris -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Christopher Taylor Technical Director Earth Broadcasting Corporation (EBC) 415 East 200 South Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 phone: (801) 322-3949 cell: (801) 541-8287 email: chris@thedial.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
