It finally dawned on me that my attempts to sort out fstab through a temporary mount in 9.0 had failed because the mount had not completed correctly. I mounted again, and could then find the file, so I edited /etc/fstab back to what it was before, and here I am back again.
Relying on webmail is awful - it crashed leaving me logged in, as it has done many times before, so it will be a while before the lock is released and I find out if anyone had any more thoughts on this. Meanwhile, could someone give me some ideas on the problems I had with loss of root password (which is ok now, so it must have been lost access to it, not corruption), what I need to do in the way of access rights to /holding which will be the new /usr, and why I was constantly getting messages denying access to /bin (related, I suppose, to the root login problem?). I hate to give up, so what do I do now? Anne
