That's what I ended up doing, but it's just not sportish. I don't think I had to use an alternate boot on a FreeBSD system in 10 years to solve a problem that wasn't manageable on single-user mode or the bootloader prompt. Linux on the other hand, mounting all filesystems read-write and starting all RAIDs (which is a write operation in Linux), I should probably add a CD drive to leave the OS CD in permanently :-) Martin -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer http://www.cons.org/cracauer/ FreeBSD - where you want to go, today. http://www.freebsd.org/
