Here's the scenario: I just installed FreeBSD on a 486-33 with 8 megs RAM. I can't make directories, copy or do anything because it tells me I have a read only file system. I messed around with chmod but couldn't get it to change anything. Shoud I have done something different during installation? Also I do get one error when booting up or trying to exit: swapon: not found skipping disks checks ... pid 220: mount: uid0: exiting on signal 11 Memory fault filesystem mount failed, startup aborted Only thing strange about that is that it keeps going. You know more about it than I do. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Duane Ferrell
