Upgrade to FreeBSD-current problem Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was running FreeBSD 2.1.7, and upgraded to the latest FreeBSD current snap (as of Wednesday). Everything seemed to go fine, until I booted for the first time. Now, the way I upgraded is to do what I've done from other versions up to this time, which is to basically mv 'etc' to 'etc.bak' and then just do a standard install over my existing filesystems (then later re-integrate whatever I had in etc myself--I like this better than the standard upgrade because it didn't do too good of a job with upgrading things in etc, especially when you have lots of changes). Anyway, now when it boots, it does the fsck on the disks and then bombs out with: mount: exec mount_ not found in /sbin, /usr/sbin: No such file or directory Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh: *boggle* So I drop to sh and try to manually mount the slices. For information's sake, my fstab is: /dev/wd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/wd0a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s1f /usr ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd0s1e /var ufs rw 1 1 Doing: mount /dev/wd0s1f /usr (fsck is already done) returns: mount: ufs filesystem is not available ?? I thought mebbe it was looking for mount_ufs, but isn't ufs a part of the standard mount exe? Help? I have a crippled system that needs to serve DNS and HTTP proxy, what can I do to get it back up and running?
