I had a single drive IDE system and recently added another so that I could dual boot. However, due to requirements in a certain "other OS" the new drive had to be the primary master. Thus when FreeBSD boots up now, it freaks out because its partitions are not where they're supposed to be (ad0s1 is now ad1s1, etc.) . Fortunately, it's able to locate the root partition and go into single user mode. However, I can't update my /etc/fstab because it won't let me re-mount root in read-write mode. Anybody have any suggestions? - Milo Hyson CyberLife Labs, LLC To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
