Hi all, I've installed FreeBSD from the net some days ago on a PC with the following IDE layout: wd0: normal disk wd1: cdrom wd2: freebsd installed here Everything is working there. Now I wanted to use the wd2 disk in another computer, which has the following config: wd0: win/linux partitions (slices, eh ;) (lilo as booter) wd1: freebsd installed here wd2: linux only wd3: cdrom What's the problem now? I can boot from the wd1 disk, the kernel is loading fine, but it stucks on mounting the standard partitions. This is caused by o I forgot to change /etc/fstab (still pointing to wd2*) o /dev/wd1s1[a-f] does not exists (and I cannot get rw access to the system to use MAKEDEV) So, when booting in FreeBSD, I get this kind of rescue shell where the root fs /dev/wd1s1 is mounted read only. How do I get around this? mount doesn't know a "-o remount" option and a "mount root_device /" bumps on me with a "cannot remount read-writable...run fsck manually". Is there any way I can avoid playing with the hds again?
