Hey all,
I wonder if anyone can tell me how to get out of this stupid mistake.

I edited rc.conf to add a virtual interface and left a quote off the end
(unterminated string) - now I cannot get past mounting root, so no editors.
And before you ask, no, I did not backup rc.conf... I told you it was
stupid.

BTW: I noticed that ad0 is "limited to UDMA33" - I have UDMA133 motherboard
and drive so, I this really true?


TIA,
Steve

Since other have answered the rc.conf question, I give the "limited to UDMA33" a shot.
Are you using a UDMA133 cable? I cant recall the UDMA133 specs, but I know UDMA66 and 100 use a different cable then UDMA33. UDMA133 might use the same cable as 66 and 100, but Im certain a 33 cable would force the drive to be UDMA33 only, even if both drive and controller is capable of UDMA133.
It might also be a BIOS issue, check your settings.

I have noticed that some CD-ROM drives will make the system think it is on
a non-compliant cable or UDMA33. For instance, this from dmesg on one
machine with an older CD_ROM drive.

"ata1-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable" If I change
to a newer CD player, it's okay.

This may sound wierd, but I had this problem when I had the hard
drives on the 2nd IDE interface and the CD on the 1st IDE interface.
Reversing the cables and changing /etc/fstab fixed the problem.
This was on an A-Open motherboard.
