So I had ppp running in one window and just did a dial ISP. Nothing happened. I looked at all the connectors, nothing weird. So I 'quit'ted ppp and then started it again. Curiously enough I mentioned that not enough inodes were available. This has never happened before, so I thought (Windows 95 thinking, I admit), well let's reboot the sucker then. OK, it all detected the devices and other things again, but at the point where it was supposed to come up with the login: prompt, I got /stand/sysinstall. OK, I thought, could be a glitch in CURRENT, so I tried rebooting with -s and that got me the same /stand/sysinstall! Also when I tried to 'Exit Install' I never got to rebooting, it just caught a lot of SIG 11's. Anyone have any idea how to solve this, as I am unable to use my FreeBSD box as of now. For information, this is the same setup I have been using for about 2 weeks now, no changes in the configuration on either hardware or software level, just a 'make world' on the 11th of November. Could I use a bootdisk to get to my partitions? But even if I do, I have no idea where the problem might lie...
