I updated a FreeBSD-current to the newest FreeBSD-current/14, buildworld
took 11:15 (hours:minutes), buildkernel was also successful, I even
appeared to be successful with "dhclient re0".
UPDATING file says to boot single-user after buildkernel and
installkernel, but then mount -u / or mount -uw / does not work as it did
in previous times.
Results were
mount -uw / or mount -u / produces
fstab: /etc/fstab:2: Inappropriate file type or format
fstab: /etc/fstab:2: Inappropriate file type or format
/etc/fstab
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/gpt/Sea1-08 none swap 0 0
/dev/gpt/Sea1-18 / ufs rw 1 1
#/dev/gpt/Sea1-06 /home ufs rw 1 1
fsck -p produces
fstab: /etc/fstab:2: Inappropriate file type or format
/dev/gpt/Sea1-18: NO WRITE ACCESS
/dev/gpt/Sea1-18: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
I tried fsck /dev/gpt/Sea1-18 and fsck / but did no better.
Now what do I do? I also ran fsck_ffs instead of just fsck.
Do I need to boot NetBSD and run fsck_ffs or fsck_ffs -f from there?

fsck /dev/gpt/Seae1-18

doesn't work? You can also fsck on the underlying disk, but since there's
many choices
that are hard to know w/o a dmesg.
