I ran into this last night and spent about an hour panicking before I could make it work. Here's what I did: - at the countdown prompt, hit a key to boot with options - type boot -s - when you get to the shell type: mount / mount /usr moutn /var -this should get you what you need to edit /etc/fstab with vi and fix the mount problem HTH, - Ed ----------------- Original Message --------leburke@mindspring.com---------- Question I have a machine that won't boot completely because, it tells me, it can't mount an NFS partition. Problem is it just hangs there, so I can't get into the machine to change anything. The question is : Is there a way to boot up into "safe mode" so that I can at least read the error logs or something. ? slight panic, but Ilm not screaming yet Thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
