Gentlement:

I require assistance.  I have an OpenBSD 2.7 system running webmail for
me.  Howver, it also doubled as storage, as it has attached a 30 GB drive
with random garbage. Anyway, the random garbage disk has died, so now, my
machine won't boot. It is most non-essential (boot is /dev/wd0a, this is
/dev/wd1a) but since it either 1. finds a problem, or 2. Doesn't find it
at all (i.e. I remove it), it pukes, and I sit at the console with a
read-only filesystem.

Questions:

1. Can I somehow edit my /etc/fstab so it doesn't look for the drive
anymore?

2. What else *is* there? I know it's just my lack of knowledge holding me
up here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adam
