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
