Hi everybody,

due to some problems with the power supply this morning
all machines on my floor went down:)

normally no problem, but this time the pc with free bsd 2.1
on it don't want to come back. of course I did the disk
checks but I cant manage to mount the root partition under /

the automated disk check in rc says that all partitions are 
clean, the mount says:

/dev/wd0a    on /: Operation not permitted


does anybody know how to convince bsd to mount the root partition?

Help appreciated,

with best regards,

job@linpc9.sari.fh-wuerzburg.de
