    Hello again,

    Due to a faulty restore my fstab has been overwritten. The system came
    down to single user and I wanted to boot from genvmunix and rebuild the
    kernal but I cannot mount any disks.

    When I try to use /sbin/mount -u it reports a ufs_mount mount device
    does not match fstab. This is due to the fact the my fstab has an old
    configuration.

    Please help
