Have you tried this? 1. When the countdown starts, right after the BTX loader has finished, press any key other than <enter> for the prompt. 2. Type boot -s to boot into single user mode. 3. When asked for a shell for root, hit <enter> (this will give you the sh shell). Alternatively, type /bi n/csh, then <enter>. This will give you the C shell, and tab completion. Essential if you are to do much of anything, IMO. 4. fsck -y 5. mount /usr 6. Do whatever it is you want to do in /usr, and reboot. You may have to provide the absolute paths for fsck and mount, I don't recall at the moment if PATH is set in single user mode. Hope this helps! -Henrik W Lund
