The problem seems to be in the early initscripts then. Are you able to see/edit the /etc/fstab somehow? Perhaps from the debian-installer shell: https://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD_FAQ#Q._How_to_use_the_rescue_mode_of_the_installer If you get 'permission denied' trying to mount the root filesystem, try fsck.ufs on it first. Or perhaps mount it read-only first e.g.: # mount -t ufs -o ro /dev/ada0s /mnt # mount -t ufs -o remount,rw /dev/ada0s /mnt Then - ensure that all mounts in /etc/fstab specify the "rw" option e.g.: > /dev/ada0s1 / ufs rw,noatime 0 0 > /dev/ada0s2 /boot ufs rw,noatime 0 2 Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
