This is probably a stupid question, but here goes. I inherited a machine
that no one seems to know the root password for. So I proceeded to boot
from CD and attempted to mount the file system so I could change it. Well,
every time I try to mount the file system off of the hard drive (using mount
-F ufs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 /a) I get one of the following errors:
1. Not a block device OR
2. File or directory not found
I've tried changing the file system type and the slice in question with no
results. I can fsck the file system with no problems and I can mount it as
a tmpfs, but get no data. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I thought
that I'd ask the list for any recommendations. Thanks in advance for the
help.
