Dear Cameron:
Thanks for your help. I did try these alterations which you recommended and
they took me a little further this time. After entering mount /dev/sd0a ,I
immediately received the following message: /dev/sd0a: file system not clean
(fs_flags=20); please fsck(8). According to the online instructions, it
indicated that errors about checking the filesystem would occur. I then
retyped the vi /etc/rc.conf, as outlined in the tutorial, and the following
lines were generated:
mode = 0100600, inum = 3847, fs = /
panic: ffs_valloc: dup alloc
Stopped in vi at _Debugger+0x6: unlk a6
db>
I suspect that there is something wrong here. According to the tutorial, it
indicates changing rc_configured=NO to rc_configured=YES, and so on. But
this never appeared.
Any ideas about what's going on.
Roland :)
