Help! I am in beeg trouble.

[Brent]

by the sounds of it...seems the slices were mounted with read only options set.

try mounting the partitions manually something like
mount /dev/ad1s1a /
mount /dev/ad1s1e /usr
mount /dev/ad1s1f /var   

just make sure that you have the device name correctly and what the correct
mount point. 

or try 

ok boot -s
# fsck -p
# mount -u /
# mount -a -t ufs
# swapon -a

hope that helps ....

Brent
