Had some problems with fstab (a typo <G>). The system would not come up. I went back and forth between trying to boot -s and booting fixit from the CD. The one thing that confused me most was that single user bootup doesn't have /sbin in the path so when I typed mount it couldn't find the command. Shouldn't /sbin be on the path for single user bootup? I was totally confused when trying to use the fixit CD. How can one mount when booting from fixit? It was looking for fstab, but there is no way to change it since the CD is read only. Is there a flag one could send the kernel to prompt before mounting each volume in fstab? I never have enough time to read the initial kernel help screen. Is there anything one can press so it doesn't continue automatically and waits for input? --------------------- francisco@natserv.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
