The / partition filled up when the new kernel was installing. Since /boot was taking up most of the space I moved /boot to /usr/ and create a symlink in / then I did make installkernel again and everything completed. Unfortunately I didn't move the necessary bits from /usr/boot back to / before rebooting and now the system won't boot. I'm trying to use the fixit option with the livefs cd to repair the system, but I'm having problems with gmirror. The disks are in software raid0. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get /usr and / mounted from the mirror using fixit? Thanks, Joey
