With the fixit floppy I was able to mount "/" as mytemp. I was then able to cd/mytemp/etc and edit fstab. I changed all wd* entries to ad* entries. When I reboot I still get: Mounting root from ufs:wd0s1a wd0: bad sector table not supported wd0s1: bad sector table not supported Root mount failed: 22 Mounting root from ufs:wd0a wd0: bad sector table not supported wd0s1: bad sector table not supported Root mount failed: 22 What am I missing??? Also, even though I was able to mount "/" and cd to /usr, doing a 'ls' at /mytemp/usr shows no files or directories... -Sean.
