You could try booting from an install floppy/cd and using an emergency shell to mount(8) the relevant partitions. if after that it's looking difficult to fix (if say, all your binaries are refusing to run) then you can reinstall your machine from cd/net/whatever as if it were an upgrade. This should give you a working system again, allowing you to reconfigure and compile. hope that helps, ian -- :: darq.net /#/ :: such swoopy interwords | mnemonica To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
