Now when it boots, it just comes up to a 'mountroot>' prompt, and I can't work out what to do next, and I havnt found any documentation online on this problem. Can anyone advise me on what has happened, and how to proceed to rectify the issue? (typical that it happens at 4pm on a Friday) Cheers, -- John Thirsk Global VideoCom Group Ltd. 01753 442 325 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
