>Description:
In the process of setting up a gmirror I messed up my fstab.  When the boot
process couldn't find a / to mount it dropped to the:

mountroot>

prompt.  However, I found at that point that keyboard input was not
accepted.  I ended up having to start a system from a CD in "rescue" mode,
mount the / file system from the hard drive and edit /etc/fstab that way.
>How-To-Repeat:
Mess up the name for the slice that mounts to / and reboot the system.
>Fix:
I mentioned a work around with a rescue boot off a CD above.

 Was it observed over a serial console?

 No, KVM.  Is there some reason that facility is only available over
 a serial console?  The output displayed properly on the monitor
 and of course with a proper boot off a CD or HD the keyboard input
 worked properly.
 
 Thanks for considering this problem.

 There was a bug in this area when using a serial console which I've
 found and worked around it, hence asking.  I hoped it was with a
 serial console, but now that I reread your post... with a serial
 console it was different -- the input would be accepted but ignored,
 like if you just pressed <Enter> without entring anything.
 
 
 Cheers,
