I have a borked entry in my /etc/fstab: the box can't find /dev/da4s1 or something at boot. So it hangs at boot asking me if I want to use /bin/sh in single user mode. But when I bang on the USB keyboard, FreeBSD doesn't hear the keys. I recall that previous boot menus offered a "boot with USB keyboard" option, but this is no longer on my FreeBSD-6.1 version built from cvsup a couple months back. Any suggestions how to get it to see the USB keyboard in the boot? This Dell box doesn't have a non-USB keyboard input. If not, any suggestions on how to get it to boot to a point where I could fix the /etc/fstab? Only thing I can think of is burn a bootable FreeBSD disk, boot from it, then mount the hard drive and fix fstab from that. Thanks.
