Thanks Adam, When the machine boots it drops straight into (I guess) single user mode. The /usr/sbin /usr/bin cant be cd-ed to and the /etc dir says it is read only file system! So I can't save to it. I have a "Schlacter tute" fireall setup on it. With whatever security it entails. Any clue? Can I interupt the boot and do something? This is a mission critical machine darn it...Oh dear!
