Message-ID: <20020329183526.J5296-100000@66-75-1-142.san.rr.com> Organization: Video2Video Services - http://Www.Video2Video.Com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I think myself as well as many other novices on this list would benefit from a quick cheat-sheet about how to boot to floppies and use the "Emergency Holographic Shell." I recently was able to use one on ttyv4 (or is it F4 but ttyv3, including zero...?) along with a fixit.flp floppy but was severely LIMITED in what I could do command-wise. Is there a set list of what to do in order to be able to mount root (from a hard disk), cd around, ls, pico or ee, etc?? Hopefully someone can clear this Star Trekky stuff up :) -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
