Hello A week or so back someone posted a message refering to a problem with mount at boot time. The same problem is happening to my -current box after a 'make world' (I didn't have a chance of building a new kernel...): mount: ufs filesystem is not available One proposed solution was to boot with the fixit floppy and copy the mount* files onto a new location on the hard drive, reboot it in single user mode and use the new mount* binaries to get things back in order. How exactly do you accomplish that? When I boot with the floppy I have no access to the hard drive - I have a minimal filesystem up and the floppy is mounted at /mnt2. Should I mount /dev/rsd0a (my "/" ) onto / or onto /mnt, or some such thing? I tried some combinations, but never got access to the fixed drive (mount complains it needs a "block device" or something like that). Any help would be appreciated.
