Had a problem with a machine where csh wasn't given execute permissions, 
so I went in with a FIXIT floppy and did a chmod 755 on /bin/csh. 

Both the server and the floppy software is 2.2.2. When I tried to reboot 
the system from the HD, the kernel cannot mount / or /usr [/dev/wd0a or 
/dev/wds3e, etc] saying permission denied, even a manual mount from the 
sh prompt doesn't work.

Going back in with the fixit floppy and a manual mount works great. 

Any ideas/reasons I can look for address?

Thanks for your time,

Jerry
