Reason: I don't know, tho there has been a lot of activity in this area so we might just have fallen in the middle of a series of commits... How to fix it: - boot single user (break into /boot/loader while it is counting down and type "boot -s" - manually mount the root partition "mount /dev/wd0a /" - (you may need/like to mount /usr as well if you need to use "vi" or "ee") - edit the /etc/fstab file to remove the "s1" from the /dev/wd0s1a entry - reboot and all is well I'm not entirely sure we won't have to reverse this fix next time we cvsup.... Warner: might like to put this in src/UPDATING Greg. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
