by the sounds of it...seems the slices were mounted with read only options set. try mounting the partitions manually something like mount /dev/ad1s1a / mount /dev/ad1s1e /usr mount /dev/ad1s1f /var just make sure that you have the device name correctly and what the correct mount point. or try ok boot -s # fsck -p # mount -u / # mount -a -t ufs # swapon -a hope that helps ....
