Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi! I've a FreeBSD v2.2 box, which has had the kernel deleted, actually, all files in / (but not subdirs) were deleted. I don't know how or when. For some reason, the box rebooted itself this afternoon, making its sorry state known. I've good backup tape on this sucker, but I don't have the install media or a boot floppy. If I can find some way to boot the sucker, I can restore the files in / and it should live again. Any thoughts? Cheers!
