If you need to make changes (Correcting a fat-fingered edit to /etc/fstab, for example), you'll need to mount root rw. mount -u -o rw / is the minimal command to do that. You might also find it easier to mount /tmp and /var if they're separate filesystems... YMMV, etc. - M _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
