Hope someone can help. After mounting the fixit floppy, you should be able to run fsck against your disk partitions and then mount them on /mnt. Assuming you have your root partition on /dev/sd0s1a and your /usr partition on /dev/sd0s1e, you'd do: # fsck -y /dev/rsd0s1a # fsck -y /dev/rsd0s1e # mount /dev/rsd0s1a /mnt # mount /dev/rsd0s1e /mnt/usr # TERM=cons25 export TERM # vi /mnt/etc/fstab You'll probably need to mount /usr as well in order to run vi. You may also have to set your TERM environment variable. Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
