I have a 486 DX 100 Mhz and  32 Mb of RAM with a caviar 1.2 Gb running
on freebsd 2.2.5. I always have it on at home, but my brother entered
the room I have the machine in and shut the power off, no questions
asked. Of course he thought I mistakenly left it on, but the thing is
that when I came home the machine didn't stop from reboting every 15
seconds and it displayed a message like the following:

/ not properly dismount
init not found
panic: init not found

...rebooting in 15 minutes or press a key
Now I tried to use /stand/sysinstall to re-make the partitions ( when I
entered the label options, all my original partitions had the right hd
space but didn't have the mounting name, instead there was an *
character) without any success, and furthermore, after that I cannot get
the boot manager to give me the choice of starting up the freebsd
booting, and now it only boots from my DOS partition.

Please can anyone give me a hand on this?

Thank you before hand.

Simon.
