:If you copy tunefs to /usr or something, you can boot off the
:install floppy, use the fixit floppy to get a shell,
:and the run it on your unmounted root. A picobsd disk
:also works well.

:I've even got softupdates enabled on my vinum volume :)
If you have a bootable FreeBSD CD (I forget which one it is),
try typing '-C' from the boot: prompt and see if it will boot the kernel
into the CD with nothing else mounted. This gives you a *full* shell
from which you can play with your disk configuration.
