While I am a fan of use the existing tools to fix the problem without physical intervention if at all possible-- remote management does that to you-- I think what the OP was asking was what should I do if I've screwed up the config on the hard drive enough that it won't boot properly, and I want to start from a known-working environment to fix things. Booting single-user off a CD may be completely unnecessary in this particular case; nevertheless, it's a valid solution to the problem. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
