Hi All, I was getting ready upgrade from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6 and was trying to take prudent steps in preperation. I was trying to use a sh script from the handbook for disaster recovery. http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook129.html I mailed the html page to myself and exported it from pine. I edited the file in pine to remove the html and directions from the file, both before and after the shell script. I renamed the file and ran it as root. ./disaster.floppy. Here is the error message I received. mitchj: {5} ./disaster.floppy /dev/rfd0a: 2880 sectors in 80 cylinders of 2 tracks, 18 sectors 1.4MB in 2 cyl groups (40 c/g, 0.70MB/g, 160 i/g) super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 32, 1496, ./disaster.floppy: 47: Syntax error: "&" unexpected mitchj: {6} whoami root Have I done something wrong or do I need to change something? I'd like to be able to use this. :-) TIA Cheers, Mitch Shell script: #!/bin/sh # # create a restore floppy # # format the floppy # PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin fdformat -q fd0 if [ $? -ne 0 ] then echo "Bad floppy, please use a new one" exit 1 fi # place boot blocks on the floppy # disklabel -w -B -b /usr/mdec/fdboot -s /usr/mdec/bootfd /dev/rfd0c fd1440 # # newfs the one and only partition # newfs -t 2 -u 18 -l 1 -c 40 -i 5120 -m 5 -o space /dev/rfd0a # # mount the new floppy # mount /dev/fd0a /mnt # # create required directories # mkdir /mnt/dev mkdir /mnt/bin mkdir /mnt/sbin mkdir /mnt/etc mkdir /mnt/root mkdir /mnt/mnt # for the root partition mkdir /mnt/tmp mkdir /mnt/var # # populate the directories # if [ ! -x /sys/compile/MINI/kernel ] then cat << EOM The MINI kernel does not exist, please create one.
