I have a remote machine on whose boot disk I want to run fsck. Is there any way of booting freebsd form the network and then getting into fixit mode without a cdrom or a floppy ? I am using pxeboot so far. What is happening is that when I put "installFixitHoloShell" in the install.cfg then sysinstall throws me to the shell that is VERY barebones. I can't run even a 'ls'. In this case how do I figure out what disk slices I have in the system and on which I want to run fsck ? Basically I need some equivalent of the Sun command "ok boot net -xs". Thanks, -ansh -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .help
