I was trying to mount a floppy [mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt] and getting an error message of something like: mount vstab:0 no such file or device dev /fd0 busy (don't remember exact syntax) So I tried to copy an /etc/fstab file from a bsd floppy. Seemed to work ok, but I neglected to check and make sure that the floppy was correctly copied--rebooted--of course I can't reboot. When I try using the rescue disck #2 and going to the fixit prompt I've tried the following commands unsuccessfully: mount /usr mount / mount /dev/ad0s1a, 1e, 1f, 1g editing the fstab file.. (of course I can't mount the partition to edit it) and last of all doing a search on google and the archives. No luck, probably because I'm hurrying and trying to send some dos image files. suggestions? thanks in advance dale To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
