Hi,

I have experienced a series of crashes trying to get DV working (that's another story) so I wanted to protect my root partition from disk errors mounting it read only.

Editing /etc/fstab to:

  /dev/ad0s1a    /               ufs     ro              1       1
  /dev/ad0s1d    /usr            ufs     ro              2       2

I lost my danish.iso keymap. all meta characters was gone, I couldn't type a @ and I couldn't get out of X with meta+F1.

Editing the fstab so / and /usr would be mounted rw and rebooting solved this - but what is going on?

It should be safer to mount / and /usr ro and AFAIK also give better perfomance.

Thanks, Erik
