mount: ufs filesystem not available
Thanks for all the suggestions, Here are some followup comments to some suggestions * '...get a copy of mount...' I was not able to mount anything so I could not copy from the floppy. * '... why not start with 3.3 ...' I just got the hang of cvsup so I wanted to try upgrade and make world * '... use picobsd ...' I'm not familiar enough but after reading it sound really interesting. Specially since a have a small 486 with 8 meg, network cards but no drive. sounds like it could be a good router Finally, I solve my problem this way, probably not recommended but it worked. I started with my 2.2.6 install disk. Created the mount points and rebooted. This allowed to get access to /usr so I could get ee to work and copy etc to a floppy. (ok I should do backups more often) but for me backup only work when I don't need them. Once I got my /etc. I restart the install of 2.2.6 and then copied the files back. Ho yea, made the mistake and copied passwd, then I could no longer logon. So did it over and now it works. I would like to start with 3.3 but I could not find the install disk for that. So I'll try again the upgrade. But I'm better prepared this time. Thanks Gramond __ Do You Yahoo!?

You will have to reinstall your 2.2.6, then follow ALL of the instructions on that page. You should also subscribe to and read the freebsd-stable mailing list, and your upgrade should be to 3.3-Stable.

You probably forgot to update at least one of: your kernel, or /etc (see mergemaster port). You're right that you shouldn't be running -current if you have to cross-post to -newbies as well. If you really want to do this, then fine, but please don't expect help with any problems you run into; you're expected to know what you're doing on this mailing list. You might want to play with 3.3 instead, since that's different enough from 2.2.6 to give you something to do. Thanks!

mount: ufs filesystem not available
I was trying to upgrade from 2.2.6 to current using cvsup, then used make world. All went well, ( I was in single user mode) then I tried to reboot and I get the message mount: ufs filesystem not available. if I do fsck and see all my mount points and they have no errors but I can't reboot. mount -a gives me 3 (mount: ufs filesystem not available) modload: creating procfs-mod: Read-only file system procfs: vsfload(procfs): operation not permitted mount: ufs filesystem not available You'll probably say, he newbies should not be doing this, but everything goes so well I thaugh id try something more exiting. Any ideas before I go back to my 2.2.6 cd and start over? Mario... thanks __ Do You Yahoo!?
