well, ive got the following problem: this is my first "real" installation of freebsd and ive definately wanted to use "bash" as my login shell as well as the login shell of root. so i changed it in /etc/master.passwd and ran pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd. well, but it seems, that i somehow mispelled the path to bash. now i cant login anymore (sounds something like a darwin-award, but hey, im still alive). that was the problem, now to the question: how do i mount my root partition (it is label wd0s1a) after booting into the fixit shell, so that i am able to modify my /etc/master.passwd again and to (hopefully) run pwd_mkdb again? it would be nice to receive a personal reply, cause im not subscribed (yet). well, hope to hear soon, joerg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
