Perhaps mount should say ", perhaps the filesystem is not clean?" when it gets an "Operation not permitted" error. I had no clue why the fixit floppy was refusing to let me mount my root filesystem. 2. Perhaps the fixit sh should be started on vty2; I had no reason to expect that I had to switch to vty2 to see the WARNING: R/W mount of / denied. Filesystem is not clean - run fsck. message that appeared there. Sigh. Bill (P.S. Maybe it's 3 bugs that I'm reporting here -- the whole reason I needed to boot the fixit floppy is because the 2.1 upgrade installed the MD5 password system over my 2.0.5 system that was set up for crypt...)
