Yes, it was a typo. The command was correctly "fsck -y /usr". > Do you have /usr on separate filesystem, or everything under /? Above > errors are what I get if I try to fsck/mount normal directory. No, /usr and all the other directories are in the same filesystem, which is unique. > In any case, even without /usr, if you have / mounted, you should be > able to edit your rc.conf and whatever other configuration files you > need with /rescue/vi I was oddly able to modify the rc.conf file (and delete the lines about NIS), but not other files such as /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/mydomainname. Making "/rescue/vi /etc/ntsswitch.conf" produces: Error: messages not turned on: /dev/constty: read-only file system ex/vi: Error: /var/tmp/vi.recover: Read-only file system ex/vi: Modifications not recoverable if the session fails ex/vi: Error: /var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.00012c: Read-only file system Permissions of such files are -rw-r--r-- > (I do hope this gets sent only once, there were some problems with my > sending setup...) :) no it didn't, but it is common with the mailing-list, don't worry.
