Thanks Gilad, it looks like my /sbin/init is corrupted. The md5 of my init didn't match that of another user. And my system hangs at /sbin/init during boot. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to safely replace /sbin/init without erasing data on the drive? I have FBSD 4.9 stable, I try running upgrade from my the 4.9 RELEASE CD. Everything seems to be fine till the point after I select the installation media (I chose CD-ROM), it say it that it can't read data from /dev/acd0. I can try FTP option, but does anyone have a better sugguestions on how to replace a working copy of /sbin/init on to the root dir?

Here is mine: MD5 (/sbin/init) = bdcf745dd758b38727ba97f24be471e5 and ident /sbin/init shows: $FreeBSD: src/lib/libc/locale/ldpart.c,v 1.7.2.3 2002/08/12 11:17:37 ache Exp $ This is from FreeBSD 4.9-RC1. However, from a 4.9-STABLE box, I get MD5 (/sbin/init) = 3ce17ad04b21e20b91204dd9867e8f80 and ident /sbin/init shows: $FreeBSD: src/lib/libc/locale/ldpart.c,v 1.7.2.4 2003/12/22 20:45:16 jkh Exp $ Gilad.
