Greetings,
am setting up gmirror and screwed up my fstab. When rebooting,
it complains until I tell it the root device:
ufs:/dev/mirror/gm0s1a

it boots up and dumps me into single user. When I try to change
/etc/fstab, it tells me that the parition is mounted read only.

How can I get things so I can change the /etc/fstab file ?

I looked on freebsd.org for a live cd, but didn't find one.

The install CD is bootable, and has a "fixit" mode.
But you would still need to mount your root partition writable...
