ok, i had a working bsd system. i shut it down, and removed a drive from it to use in another computer i turn it on and i get mounting errors, nothing unsual, can't find drives from the manualroot prompt i put in the path to the root partition to the drive that is still in the machine i boot to single user mode im now trying to edit my fstab so i can boot normally (the drive numbers moved from ad1 to ad0 because i removed a hardrive) i can see all the files, i mounted my /usr partition, but for some reason i can't remount the / parition to edit the fstab. when i enter the command mount -o rw / i get operation not permitted. i tried mount -o rw /dev/ad1s1 / and mount -o rw /dev/ad0s1 /and got the same thing. ive used this in the past and it works, i don't know why its not working now. any ideas? bsd 6.2 if it matters when i do mount /dev/ad1s1 on / (ufs, local, read-only) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) /dev/ad1s1f on /usr/ (ufs, local, soft-updates) thanks willie
