Further, in single-user mode, there are no directories in your search path, so you must cd to the proper directory before executing a command. Since fsck is in /sbin, you'll need to 'cd /sbin' and then './fsck' and that should get you on your way. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
