Before you reinstall, there may be a way to restore the permissions on enough files to get the system running. If I remember correctly, chmod is on the fixit, as well as chgrp and chown. Boot the fixit and see. If not, you can put chmod on your fixit from another system. I can provide you with the permissions, owners, and groups for files, if necessary. If you set: /bin 555 bin bin /sbin 555 bin bin /usr/bin 555 bin bin /stand 555 root bin you should be able to boot. /etc/mtree contains the permissions for all the system files. Look at 'man mtree'.
