mount -u -o rw /

|  Walter:
|
|  What about this goof up...
|
|  Restored / from a dump. It overwrote /etc/fstab... on reboot FreeBSD sees
| the device name of a different hd controller..
|
|  I can boot -s
|
|  I can see the list of files
|
|  But it won't let me touch them... I can't "more filename" or edit
| anything.
|
|  I need to fix /etc/fstab.... how does one get rw back?

mount -o rw -t ext2 /dev/whatever_device /
