Yes, that would be marvellous. I know that I need to mount my filesystems after checking them, and I always do: # fsck -p # mount -u -o rw / # mount -a But these steps are not easy to guess, if one reads /usr/src/UPDATING. They are implied, but for someone who is booting in single user mode for his first time, they are also very hard to just come up with :-) -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
