It boots fine in single or multi user, but, I can't seem to get the file system config'd for read/write access. I am set up with a combined root/user partition on sd0a and swap on sd0b. I have tried various forms mount ( -u, -a, ...), have looked at the fstab and rc files, etc. I suspect that I need a mount command in the rc or rc.local files, but if the file system is RO, I can't save the changes. Can't seem to get there from here ... I admit, Unix sysadmin is new to me. I bought the Unix System Administration Handbook (good, but shy on details). Could someone give me a step by step "fix", or refer me to a faq (have tried the NetBSD faq), or just give me a Clue or two? Thanks eternally. Regards, Bryan
