-- [ From: Andrew Stevens * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- Greetings: Over the past couple of days, my FreeBSD box has been giving me strange error messages, and now my machine won't boot. Below is a summary of what has been happening: Two nights ago, I mounted my DOS hard drive and a DOS zip disk for the first time. I then attempted to use find on my system to find a file. While find was working and my BSD disk was grinding away, error messages began appearing. I didn't think much of them at the time and didn't bother to write them down, but I believe files on my BSD drive were listed, and beside them, "bad file descriptor". The next time I tried to boot, device probing went smoothly, but after "changing device to sd0a" was displayed, the following lines appeared: exec /sbin/init: error 20 exec /sbin/oinit: error 20 exec /sbin/init.bak: error 20 And my computer froze at this point. I tried disabling everything which conflicts with ep0, but it didn't help matters. (using de0 as my ethernet port). Any suggestions? Thanks for all your help - I don't know what I'd do without you guys! Take Care, Andrew Stevens.
