I'm no REAL ADMIN - but I have a FreeBSD server box for my home LAN:

Anyway : I was new to FreeBSD - and had just about set it up EXACTLY as wanted; after much tinkering! I was then trying to update my fstab to include my floppy drive. Unfortunately, I did the stupid thing of "echo"ing the details in, sorta like:
Code:
echo /dev/fd0.1440 msdos /floppy rw,noauto 0 0 > /etc/fstab

Experts - can you spot the mistake? Yep, only 1 '>' - so when I rebooted, no drives mounted- ARRRGGGHHHH!

Fortunately, I inserted the boot "fixit" cd and edited the file after mounting the correct partition! My heart has NEVER beated so fast!
