Have another problem though - right after the fsck's in rc (mount -u -o rw /) it stops with: /dev/wd0s2a on /: Specified device does not match mounted device. Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted. Mount shows that 'root_device' is mounted on / as read-only. I think I understand what's going on here, but am not sure how to fix it - /dev reconfig, something in /etc? Thanks again for your help! Gerard Giamberdine
