Hi I reconfigured a spare partition last night and when I booted the box this morning I get the following error (everything before this loos as normal, unfortunately I can't get the log file off the box to include the whole thing, but this is the relevant part, well I think so anyway): Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0S1a elf_load_section: truncating ELF file Jan 17 10:53:20 init: /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormally, going into single user mode Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: When I hit return, nothing, just the same old error(as above). I have managed to get in on /bin/csh. The permissions on the file /bin/sh seemed to be 600 instead of 555. I changed this and rebooted and I am still getting the same error. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my box back up live? Your help is always much appreciated.
