I've tried the fixit shell & CD-ROM live > filesystem, but am runing into difficulties. There are two ways that I would try. I know the first will work. I've never tried the second. 1 - boot from floppies so you can do the visual configuration again. That will get you running and you can do the above changes. 2 - boot into single user mode, issue a "mount /" and make the changes, then reboot again. -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.FreeBSDDiary.org/freebsd/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/racingsystem.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
