This can happen if an fsck check failed at boot up with a request to run fsck manually. Or perhaps somehow you booted into single user mode. Try rebooting -- and read any messages!!

Cant write to /etc
I have just been tring to use sms_client and it gives me an error that it cant write to /etc. When I try to # touch /etc/smslock it gives me # touch: /etc/smslock: Read-only file system It wont even let me edit rc.conf I had a look at the permisions of /etc and they are fine drwxr-xr-x The only thing I can think of is that I recently set up loader.conf in order to be able to load the module for my audigy card. So I had a look through loader.conf and it doesnt have anything about loader.conf Can anyone help ?
