Presented with mountroot prompt

Hi,

I'm presented with a mountroot> prompt and I don't know how to again mount partitions to have my server back, any ideas? Thanks!

Here is the picture of the prompt.

Type this at the prompt:

ufs:/dev/mirror/myroot

If it boots with that you have something wrong in /etc/fstab, there should be a single line for /:

/dev/mirror/myroot   /  ufs  rw  1 1

Type this at the prompt:

ufs:/dev/mirror/myroot

If it boots with that you have something wrong in /etc/fstab, there should be a single line for /:

/dev/mirror/myroot   /  ufs  rw  1 1

Yes it worked! Thank you!

My /etc/fstab is:

tesla# vi fstab
# dev              mnt       type    opt       dump   pass
/dev/mirror/gm0p2     none      swap    sw        0      0
/dev/mirror/gm0p3        /         ufs     rw        1      1

Those gm* names refer to the old now destroyed full disk mirror.

Do this to change the swap to mirrored:

# gmirror label myswap ada0p2 ada1p2

# swapon /dev/mirror/myswap
(turns on swap without reboot)

And change /etc/fstab to:

# dev              mnt       type    opt       dump   pass
/dev/mirror/myroot        /         ufs     rw        1      1
/dev/mirror/myswap     none      swap    sw        0      0

(It's better to have the first line of /etc/fstab for /)

Yes, I did as you suggested. Thanks!

Mounting from ufs: /dev/mirror/myroot failed with error 19

Any help would be most appreciated.
