Off the top of my head ..... Get the guy at the data centre to get a 5.x or 6.x installation CD. He should boot with it and choose the Fixit option, and select the live filesystem on CD. After that, he will be dropped into a shell and the following steps will work: fsck -y /dev/da0s1a (change to the correct slice name!!) Once that is complete: mount /dev/da0s1a /mnt vi /mnt/boot/loader.conf save changes Exit the Fixit mode and reboot, removing the CD, and voila! -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ Nothing is more admirable than the fortitude with which millionaires tolerate the disadvantages of their wealth. -- Nero Wolfe _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
