Hi there, I have recently ufs mounted a new disk to my machine and ran dump, restore in the following fashion: mount /dev/ad1s1a /mnt dump 0af - /usr |(cd /mnt/usr;restore xf -) I edited /etc/fstab and changed the original /usr partition to point to my newly imaged disk. After rebooting, I am unable to login through the Xwrapper I installed. All users (even root) are listed in .Xauthority to point to Window Maker. There is obviously something wrong with Window Maker (the soft link to etc....) and as such I am unable to login. After entering a correct user name and password at the Xwrapper prompt, the screen flickers a bit and then goes back to a login prompt. My system is able to identify invalid users / passwords. All I want to do is get a shell prompt so that I can re-edit /etc/fstab and point the /usr partition to my original disk, which was left untouched. What can I do?? Ahhh.... ahhhh ahh ah I'm screwed!!!!!! <<...OLE_Obj...>> Brad Watts Systems Analyst AT&T Canada 905 King Street Toronto, Ontario M6K 3G9 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
