Reference man pages: mount(8) Zviad, to get your root FS and the FS containing your old fstab mounted, you have to manually mount the new and old root filesystems: mount -t ufs -w /dev/wd0s2e / mkdir /oldroot mount -t ufs -w /dev/da0s2a /oldroot Now you can backup your fstabs. After that, I would recommend you run /stand/sysinstall and use disklabel to have a new fstab written automatically. P.S. I know most newbies don't like posting to -questions for fear of getting flamed for asking a "stupid newbie question" (there is no such thing IMO), but -questions really is the best place to ask. Plus it lets more people see the question. -- dpilgrim@uswest.net /\ / __ Our lies are merely the gryph@mindless.com / \/OC/URNE truth of another world ICQ: 29880099 Death is not a kill -9, just a DALnet: anim0s make world and shutdown -r now PGPKey available To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
