man pages are available on-line, see front page of website. > Enter shell path name or return to sh : I press enter > Terminal type ? i enter tty220 what did you do to change that?

(no error message, but we can pretty well guess what it would be) AGAIN, typing random stuff isn't how you solve computer problems. The command is "fsck" or "fsck_ffs" (either will work), and that command was told to you in the error message (which was probably scrolled off the screen due to your bumbling the terminal type question). > OpenBSD drop me to single user and kernel security level is . > > I think is just for read and not for write. > > I need your help. > > Your help is greatly appreciated by me and others. > > A billion thanks for your help. If things are really messed up, you may prefer (or need) to boot from bsd.rd, either from your disk or from a CD or floppy, then fsck all your partitions. Easiest way to proceed would be to look at the error message you get at boot, it will be complaining about a particular partition, let's assume it is /dev/wd0d. You will enter in the following command: fsck /dev/wd0d When it finds errors, it will ask you if you want to fix them, say "y". If it starts irritating you with how many things it is asking you to fix, hit "F" (upper case!), and it will just assume "y" for all remaining questions. Once this fsck is done, it may ask you if you want to write the fixes to disk. If so, DO SO! Otherwise, you just wasted your time. :) (I'm drawing a blank at the moment if OpenBSD is one of the OSs I've worked with that asks that question). Now, do a "mount -a". The system may now report another partition needs to be cleaned, so repeat the process with the next partition, and so on, until your system comes up with a mount -a. Note, this "mount -a" trick attempts to mount everything in your /etc/fstab file, so if you booted from bsd.rd, this doesn't work. In that case, you need to look at your disklabel or the etc/fstab file on your disk. Nick.
