Today I went to login to the more problematic of my 2 freebsd machines, and 
it told me something like too many processes or not enough processes or 
something.  I had never seen that before.  I tried to login again and the 
machine hung, so I rebooted it.  When it tried to come back up, it 
automatically started the sysinstall program, and now every time it comes 
up, that's what it does.

I used a fixit disk, and managed to fsck and mount the other partitions (/ 
/usr and /var).  The files are intact, and the partitions are mountable.  My 
question is how do I fix it to allow it to boot up normally from the hard drive?

Thanks.

Chad
