I think you'll find the / partition will be the mfs partition from the fixit disk. To make changes to the root partition on your disk, you'll have to mount it first. Something like: # mount /dev/ad0s1 /mnt should do the trick (assuming you want to mount the first slice on the first IDE disk). You can then proceed to edit your fstab, which will be located at /mnt/etc/fstab. Nick. -- From a Sun Microsystems bug report (#4102680): "Workaround: don't pound on the mouse like a wild monkey."
