I have a remote machine on whose boot disk I want to run fsck=2E Is there =
any
way of booting freebsd form the network and then getting into fixit mode
without a cdrom or a floppy ?

I am using pxeboot so far=2E What is happening is that when I put
"installFixitHoloShell" in the install=2Ecfg then sysinstall throws me to =
the
shell that is VERY barebones=2E I can't run even a 'ls'=2E In this case ho=
w do
I figure out what disk slices I have in the system and on which I want to
run fsck ?

Basically I need some equivalent of the Sun command "ok boot net -xs"=2E


Thanks,
-ansh
