Hey, I'm getting this error message when I boot up my box. The OS is FreeBSD 3.3 Release. I'd give you more information, but I can't get past the boot screen so I can't log in to capture anything. Booting stops at the HD mounting/checking during the boot sequence and gives me the error: .: out of file descriptors It then asks me to enter the default location of the shell.. /bin/sh, bringing me to the console? But once there.. I cannot do anything other than navigate around the hd (cd blah blah).. editing of files isn't possible, as nothing seems to work (no vi, ee, or pico).. How can I resolve this situation? *sigh* Help.. Help! *gives you a handful of hair* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
