Hi folks, It's Luc again, the guy who lost his root password. So far, I have a boot disquette that leaves me in a shell (with root privileges). Now, I just wanna mount my scsi disk to edit /etc/passwd. My FreeBSD partition is installed on my second scsi drive. If I let my system boot normally from the second drive, I have two lines (among many other ones) that looks like /dev/rsd1a: clean, 27120 free ... /dev/rsd1s1e: clean, 20508 free ... On the other hand, my /etc/fstab file looks like this : /dev/sd1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd1s1e /usr ufs... On my boot disquette, I have the device rds1a and sd1a present in the /dev directory. Once booted, I tried the command mount /dev/rsd1a /mnt but I got the message Block device required I also tried the same command with the sd1a device but I got the message Device not configured. What did I do wrong? -Lpp
