I've got an install of freebsd 4.2-stable that I broke. I'd like to be able to boot off the install disks, go into that 'fixit' shell, then mount the existing file systems and try to clean things up. Is there a tutorial on how to do this? I've attempted to moutn the file systems manually (i've got an identical machine here so i know what the mount points are, however mkdir /hd1 mount /dev/twed0s1a /hd1 gives me a file not found error. There's got to be a way to do this. TIA pb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
