I was just wondering if someone could give me a quick advice on how (or at least confirm it's possible) to start sshd in fixit console i.e. how to boot FreeBSD off the CD1 (6.4-RELEASE) and enable SSH access to it. What I have tried (unsuccessfully) so far is: 1) copying sshd startup script (and dependencies like missing sshd_config, rc.subr, sbin/sysctl) from /dist directory - sshd script (with forcestart to ignore rc.conf knob) executes and does nothing 2) chroot the /dist directory, mount_devfs and then start sshd - script tries to generate host keypair and fails to write them due to read-only filesystem I believe booting off a live CD and restoring a backup over network should be a relatively common recovery scenario, but googling around produced no usable results other than "get FreeSBIE live cd". TIA, -- Nino
