There was no need for "mount -a", everything was mounted. Then you weren't in single user mode. Single user mode mounts the / partition as read-only.

Do you have a "one big partition" system? -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
