I tried dearly to just find a friggin editor or SOMETHING. Hm, come to think of it I didnt try to mount it using the boot floppies. So could you do something like, boot with the boot floppies, mount your root partition - run vi from your hard drive and edit /etc/fstab and then reboot? I KNEW IT! I told myself - "The documentation says FreeBSD users hate having to reinstall..so there must be away around this without reinstalling". cool! - aaron --------------------------------------------- click46[wp] - AIM the click46 - ICQ 43450396 webpimps.net | bsdatwork.com | nerdserve.net moderator - o/c cooling forum @ hardforum.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
