Any help on this subject would be much appreciated! You might have better luck if you asked in one of the OpenBSD newsgroups, since OpenBSD is not NetBSD and NetBSD is not OpenBSD. There is a fine port of NetBSD to the Macintosh which I'm sure people here could help you with. However: try "fsck -p;mount -a -t nonfs". That should solve your problem. -- Thor Lancelot Simon tls@rek.tjls.com "American culture, Disneyland freak show -- screen in your living room a window for your tomb -- you can't compare to the world sitting there, repress your insecurities, watching it scared..." -Operation Ivy
