Thanks for the reply Mike, Following the manual to setup /usr/tmp and /usr/var gets you no place, search on google finally found a mailing list (not freebsd) posting that after going to single user mode mount -u / mount /dev/ad0s1f /usr and mount as necessary, can then make /usr/tmp and usr/var with ln -s links from /tmp and /var then ctrl-d gets out of the whole thing and does normal boot. This really took me a long time to find. was not in manual, diary, faqs or freebsd mailing lists archives, (or search not found) but alls well that ends. thanks much for you help.
