Hello, my first post. I hope it is in the correct forum.
I am fairly new to FreeBSD or any BSD for that matter. I've installed FreeBSD on my backup box just to work out the bugs. I got it all up and running great, then I mounted a partition from another drive as /home. I put an entry in /etc/fstab to do this. I later reconsidered and removed that drive (actually I reformatted it). I booted up and the boot obviously stopped. I dropped into single user mode and edited out the fstab entry. However the system is still looking for /dev/da0s4 which no longer exists, and the boot process is again stopped! I'm on another PC right now but the error message has to do with "inconsistencies detected in /dev/da0s4", the non-existent partition.
I cannot figure out where in the system this is still registered since it is no longer in /etc/fstab. Any ideas? TIA.
