Hi
  I fear that this time a messed up big time. I have two hard drives one with Windows XP (40G) and another with FreeBSD 6.1  (10G). Eveything was ok until I decided i wanted to mount my windows drive to FreBSD (i run KDE as GUI). I followed the instruction from OnLamp.com and since i wanted the whole process to be automated on every boot i added the following lines in /etc/fstab using ee: 
  /dev/ad0s1  /windows        ntfs   rw       1     1
 
  and everything looked normal until i rebooted! now when i choose FreeBSD on the bootmanager it starts looking ok and ends up with the following:
  fsck: exec fsck-ntfs for /dev/ad0s1 in /sbin:/usr/sbin: No such file or directory
  Unknown error: help!
  init /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormaly, going to single user mode
  Enter full pathname of shell of RETURN for /bin/sh
   
  if i enter single user mode it dasen't seem to recognize many commands: starrtx, ee, pico, emacs etc so i cannot change my /etc/fstab in case this is the problem. 
   
  Moreover now i am unable to enter windows as the bootmanager when i ask him to load the DOS disk it just reboots the system. I even tried to leave only the (40G) on the machine but thens it just crashes right after memeory check. I am seriously in need for some help, if anyone could suggest anything i would appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance
