I booted the live FS CD of 2.2.5R in order to fix a problem (resp. access some partittion to make a backup and then reinstall the system). Since the root_device is mounted read-only I see no way to make it read/writable (mount -u /dev/wd0a / or somethingf doesn't seem to work). Also I got into an endless loop with the only escape pressing the reset button while editing the file /tmp/doc.tmp. BTW, is it an 'accident' that this file is there in /tmp? What has it got to do in /tmp on the CD? Or is the root_fs a memory filesystem? Anyway, I'd be grateful for the magic command line to make the root FS read/writable with the live FS CD mounted in fixit mode. -- Chris Christoph P. U.
