Yes, when you boot single user, it comes up with root mounted read-only and no other file system mounted. You need to remount root. At minimum do: mount -u / Actually, from long habit, when I boot single user, I do the whole schmear as follows: fsck -p mount -u / mount -a swapon -a and then go on to fix up what I need. ////jerry > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
