a big mistake-deleted etc

[ajtiM]

The problem is because I cannot boot in single mode. I use
mountroot>ufs:/dev/my disk and it mounted read only

If I boot Live CD and run:
mount -t ufs -o rw /dev/my disk it cannot find it.

If I use

mountroot>ufs:/dev/my disk o rw 
than I got error 22.

Thank you.
