Is it possible to fix this or do I have to reinstall freebsd? It may be that you got the slices no longer marked as bootable. Try using fdisk(8) or boot0cfg(8) to re-enable booting on those slices. jerry Do you run it from the instalation CD using fixit or run from the mountroot prompt on the computer. It seems to me I can't can any commands from this prompt. I would do it from the fixit. Well that didn't work but I finally fixed it. from the moutroot I was able to go into single user mode by running these commands: ufs:/dev/ad0s2a fsck -p / mount / after this I was able to check and fix my /etc/fstab file, for some reason the mount points got all changed to slice 4, e.g. ad0s4a, changed them back to ad0s2a and so on, after that I was able to boot just fine. How it happened I have no idea. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
