Everything went well, but I made the mistake of using my custom kernel opposed to the GENERIC kernel provided during installation. So when I rebooted, my kernel was a.out but my system was ELF. Because of this, the root_device (wd1s1a) is read only. I can read everything perfectly, but I can't change it or mount any partitions. I've tried using fixit 3.1-r, and was successful in mounting all devices except /. Without being able to write to wd1s1a (root fs), I can't switch kernels. I've tried mount -o rw /, but that just gives me a signal 12 error. When in fixit, a similar error when trying to mount /dev/wd1s1a readable/writeable. As said before, I can mount the root device fine, but only in a read only environment. I appreciate your time, and I hope one of you people will be able to help me out. -Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
