from http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/boot-init.html 5.5.2. Single-User Mode This mode can be reached through the automatic reboot sequence, or by the user booting with -s or setting the boot_single variable in loader. It can also be reached by calling shutdown without the reboot (-r) or halt (-h) options, from multi-user mode. If the system console console is set to insecure in /etc/ttys, then the system prompts for the root password before initiating single-user mode. "the user booting with -s" means: During the boot process, when it says "Hit [enter] to boot immediately, or any other key to...", you hit some key other than enter. Then, at the prompt, type "boot -s". It should boot into single-user mode. Mount / (or wherever /etc is) in read-write mode and fix rc.conf. -johnnnnnn > Tnx. > Still learning how to get this Freebsd to do what I want, which I might add > is as easy as getting a beer when you are 14. > >> I would recomend booting into single user mode, mounting the drive, and >> fixing the rc.conf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
