I guess my previous post about hosing up my system doing cvsup is essentially ends up with the same problem of not being able to boot to a single user mode. typing boot -s does not work it gives no boot typing "boot -s" does not work. it gives one beep sound. typing 'boot -s' does not work. it gives one beep sound typing -s boots up multi-user mode and it does not take my root or my regular account password. As you can see I'm doing trial and error So I'm stuck now well I probably need to reinstall FreeBSD 3.2 and I got a SCSI CD-ROM can I boot of it? I tried but it did not work I toggled the BIOS to boot of SCSI disks first did not work. OK so I might need a floppy but where do I get mfsroot and the kernel disks. I searched the FTP site to no avail. Any help is appreciated -- Majid Almassari, MSEE, MCP. Systems Administrator iBroadcast, Inc.
