Message-ID: <3921C58D@operamail.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: InterChange (Hydra) SMTP v3.61.01 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi folks, please help or point me at the correct literature: After using Linux for some time, I recently installed FreeBSD (3.3-release) on a new IDE drive configured as primary master. After doing this, I had to install another IDE drive in the same machine and for various reasons, it has to be primary master. The FreeBSD drive is now primary slave. As expected, FreeBSD drop me into single-user mode on boot, because the fstab entries are now incorrect. I need to modify fstab but can't because the filesystem is mounted read-only! I need to change the FreeBSD drive back to primary master, boot normally, modify fstab, then change the drives back. Does anything need to be modified besides fstab? Please help me or point me in the right direction. (I've already read the printed book and spent countless hours reading the website.)
