It boots fine & everything, but I can't do anything because I get an error message saying: "Filesystem is read-only." An ls -al showed that I *should* have write-access to the expected places. chmod +w was useless. What's the deal here? I've installed OpenBSD on an external 330MB HD, with 100MB left to a Mac HFS partition. I'm booting using the bsd-generic kernel, located on the Mac partition. Any help on this subject would be much appreciated! Stefan had `ufs' in his /etc/fstab lines. I have fixed mount(8) to deal with this better, in the post 2.1 tree. It will warn, and will act as if it `ffs'. -- This space not left unintentionally unblank. deraadt@openbsd.org www.OpenBSD.org -- We're fixing security problems so you can sleep at night.
