Dear Daniel,
This sounds a little like a problem I had. To quote from my previous
missive:
-------------------------
Here's how I got out of this jam:
# mount /dev/wd0s1 /usr # Now the / is writable as /usr
# cd /usr/dev # This is really /dev
# ./MAKEDEV wd0s1a
chgrp: not found # Is this going to hurt me someday?
# ls wd0* # all the slices a-g are there!
# reboot
-----------------
If I am right,
You would substitute wd1s2 for wd0s1 above, after inspecting
the output from
mount
and
cat /etc/fstab
, which you should still be able to read from the
single-user prompt with / mounted as read-only.

Hello
While upgrading from 2.2.8-stable to 3.1-stable (make aout-to-elf-build
and make aout-to-elf-install), all went well until I rebooted. It was
apparent that I should have used the GENERIC kernel as opposed to my
custom made kernel back in 2.2.8-stable.
While booting up, here are the last few lines:
/dev/rw1s2:FILESYSTEM CLEAN; Skipping checks
/dev/rw1s2: clean, 642327 free (3311 frags, 79877 blocks, 0.3%
fragmentation)
mount: exec mount_ failed, startup aborted
I was able to drop to a shell, but my /usr was on a partition not
mounted so I couldn't build a 3.1 kernel. So I tried to mount /usr
manually
#mount -t ufs /dev/usr_partition /usr
pid 25 (mount), uid 0 : exited on signal 12
mount: /usr : Bad system call
I tried to boot in single user mode, but I still couldn't use mount. I
couldn't use mount in the sense that I couldn't mount anything...I kept
getting signal 12
One alternative suggested was to use a fixit.flp, but I still couldn't
mount anything even in a Fixit shell. (I got the fixit shell from
ftp.freebsd.org, used fdimage to write the image).
Fixit# mount -t ufs /dev/root_device /mnt /* /mnt is empty, /mnt2
was where fd0 was mounted) */
/: write failed, filesystem is full
mount: /mnt: Bad system call
Fixit#
this is part of the df output:
root_device 95%
/dev/fd0 103%
I hope I have provided enough information for someone to give me some
hints. Thanks.
