Hello everybody,
my box dont want to boot as usual:
"mounting root filesystem rw failed, startup aborded
/bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormaly , going to single mode user mode
Any idea?
thanks for your help
 
Update. Urgently.

7.2 is so long past its end of support that any attempt to fix everything falls under 'post mortem communications', a.k.a. necromancy.
 
There's also hardly enough information here to go on. "It doesn't work, why?" isn't a particularly good question.

You could start with checking your filesystems, the root in particular. But other than that my suggestion would also be to upgrade ASAP. Especially if this box is used on public networks.

Are very old releases of FreeBSD still available? I was wondering if it's possible to try and load up v1.0 to see how it looked...
