OK, go into the shell and do - mount -rw /dev/wd0s2a / vi /etc/fstab [change the entry for / to use /dev/wd0s2a] reboot Easy :) It may complain about / not being clean if you didn't shutdown properly, if so, just do 'fsck /dev/wd0s2a', and then do the mount command. --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
