I have the following fstab: # See the fstab(5) manual page for important information on automatic mounts # of network filesystems before modifying this file. # # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/aacd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/aacd0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 #/dev/aacd1s1f /usr/local/mysql ufs rw 2 2 /dev/aacd0s1f /tmp ufs rw 2 2 /dev/aacd1s1e /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/aacd0s1e /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 If I uncomment the line which mounts /usr/local/mysql, the machine won't boot. I have experimented with this on our development boxes and it works fine. The original fstab has /dev/aacd1s1f mounting on /dsk1 which also works fine. Leaving the line commented out works fine (sans disk of course). But trying to mount the drive where I want it hangs at boot - this is a particular problem since I don't have console access to see what is actually going on. The tech guy who fixes things for us reckons there is a mistake in the line, but I can't see it. What am I missing?
