Traditionally I used /stand/sysinstall but had some problems, tried to run fdisk and disklabel separately. Where are the interactive modes of these utilities like how they work in sysinstall? All I can invoke are these ugly things that seem to require all the options/ changes entered on the command line. So I went back into sysinstall, disklabel editor. Made the mistake of entering the mount points as /, /usr, /var etc. instead of /mnt/.., and disklabel happily overwrote the current mountpoints, after I realized my mistake disklabel said I couldn't change from there, I had to exit sysinstall and re-run it. Voila, I exit sysinstall and now the box is useless, can't even do a "ls" command. How do I recover from this.. will the mountpoints still be screwed on a reboot, can I fix this running single-user or do I need a boot floppy? Thanks, Phil -- Philip J.
