As I recall, the system starts up a shell on ttyv3 and you also have the root menu option "Fixit" to enter a shell. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Reid Linnemann Sent: Monday, August 06, 2007 11:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: User questions Subject: Re: Installing from USB Flash Drive I already tried that. Fixit starts tty4 and I issued mount /dev/da0 /mnt and got "mount not found" Alt f2 is the default debug session and mount /dev/da0 /mnt worked from there, but still no joy. When sysinstall try's to get the source to install it says unable to transfer distribution source from ufs. Still looks like a showstopper to me. I am ready submitted a bug report to add USB-dd as supported install media in sysinstall. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
