I use syscons and it's possible to change virtual terminals after the following error message: fd0d: hard error reading fsbn 0 (ST0 40<abnrml> ST1 1<no_am> ST2 0 cyl 0 hd 0 sec 1) No input to the system is possible. I had to reset :-( In FBSD-1.0.2 it was possible to change virtual terminal, kill the offending process (mdir) and continue to work. Did I mess up something installing FBSD-1.1.5.1? -Michael -- ------------------------------+------------------------------ Michael Giegerich | migieger@luva.lb.bawue.de ------------------------------+------------------------------
