I've had to enter fixit mode to fix a mistake I made with my system.  I
tried via the fixit diskette, and the 'live file system' cd, but once in, I
can't figure out how to mount the / partition.

If I try 'df -k', I get something like:

root_device xx xx xx /
/dev/fd0	xx xx xx /mnt2

Should I be typing something like:

mount /dev/wd0s3 /

to mount the proper partition?

Thanks,
Marco
