Don't worry It's not the end of the world! When the machine stops booting you end up in a single user prompt and the '/' filesystem is mounted read only. You need to mount your file systems manually and the edit the /etc/fstab file. Repare the entry that's causing all the trouble and restart the machine. the commands that should do the trick are: mount /dev/ados1a / mount /dev/ados1f /usr mount /dev/ados1e /var cd /etc vi fstab # repare it shutdown -r now Good luck, Luke >The boot sequence stops with : > .. > ... > (checking and mounting /dev/ad0s.. works fine) > ... > /dev/da0 : the following file system had an unexpected inconsistency > :/dev/da0 (usr/home/backup) > Automatic file system check failed...help ! > Enter full pathname of shell or return for /bin/sh > >I tried to overwrite fstab with fstab(tilde) but here is the >following answer : read-only file system >Is there a way to recover the original file before starting a brand new >installation ? :-( > >Many thanks > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
