Re: Re: /etc/fstab error and I can't start the system normally
I think that the problem was a damaged system. I have re-installed FreeBSD and now ALL the commands and methods work. mount -u / or mount -o rw / and I can access to the root directory I mount /usr and I can use ee (effectively a nice editor) ee /etc/fstab (absolute path isn't necessary) I have tried Fixit and the result is the same (here the absolute path is NECESSARY). For a non-experimented user --like me-- cover the bases is the most important thing to begin. I couldn't rescue my old system but now I know a little more.

Result: can't exec mount -o rw / for single user: No such file or directory ___ Thank you for your answers. yeah sorry about the ee thing for some reason it is not in the rescue directory only vi is which will work, but not my favorite editor. to get ee you would have to mount /usr and its in /usr/bin if I'm not mistaken. you might have to use absolute paths to get programs to run like /usr/bin/ee /etc/fstab or /rescue/vi /etc/fstab if your gungho about things. as for the mount error that is odd. did you check the output of just a plain mount if it tells you root is mounted r/w which I think would be so unless it says readonly then you don't have to worry about that step. Bur single user mode always puts root in readonly. I haven't experienced it puking during boot because of a bad line in fstab though so I am not certain how that works. Your best bet is probably to boot from the FreeBSD install disk, run Fixit shell from the CD/DVD-Rom option. then type /dist/sbin/mount /dev/ad0s(insert your bsd slice \ here)a /mnt then run ee /mnt/etc/fstab or /dist/usr/bin/ee /mnt/etc/fstab I don't think the absolute paths to everything is necessary, but I'll give them anyway to cover the bases. note if your want to mount that msdosfs for whatever reason you have to do this sysctl kern.module_path=/dist/boot/kernel /dist/sbin/mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s5 /foobar I've had to deal with that little problem before. the fixit shell does not load all the kernel modules you might need only a subset, and mount -t msdosfs doesn't seem to work anytime I try it so that one REQUIRES the absolute path to work. good luck -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can go to single user mode (4) from the boot menu and then mount - o rw / . Then you can edit /etc/fstab. Pramod Venugopal [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Aug 7, 2006, at 1:26 PM, micman wrote: Hello.
