Hello everyone. [1] What is the best resource online for understanding how to use "fixit"??
I have a bootable FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE CD-R and I can start an emergency "fixit" shell on vtty4 (you start it after booting into sysinstall "...using the live filesystem CD..." and type Alt-F4 to get to a # prompt). I am able to do an "ls" only by typing "echo *" -- "cd" works and "pwd" works, but "which", "mkdir", "mount" and "more" do NOT WORK. [2] (a) My question is, with all of the data that can be fit on an ISO9660 filesystem, why was "fixit" and the array of tools so limited?! (b) http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/installation/i386/trouble.html only makes a passing reference to fixit.flp only. Is there a tutorial at freebsd.org that explains use of the fixit shell?? [3] What sequence of commands do I use to mount to a UFS floppy or UFS filesystem on my hard drive (and do I have to know which /dev/ and do I have to fdisk and label mountpoints in sysinstall ahead of time??)??! If anyone can clarify these three questions, I would forever be grateful.
