Guys,
I urgently need help on this one. I installed iwn for Intel Wireless adapter and added this line to /boot/loader.conf:
I forgot to load the firmware. I didn't add this:
Now, my system won't boot at all. It shows kernel panic while booting, dumps core and reboots. I tried booting into single user mode and correcting loader.conf but it isn't allowing me to save the changes saying "Read only filesystem". I ran a fsck in single user mode hoping to fix the read-only issue but to no avail.
IMO this is highly fragile behavior on kernel's part. You sure can flame me for my stupidity but it still won't justify it if I can't recover my system.
I dual boot with Linux but my kernel isn't compiled with write support for ufs2. I am in no mood to re-compile my kernel just to edit a simple config file. Linux has been stupid not to compile write support for a major file system.
Anyway, back to the topic. Please suggest how do I fix this.
