So, ... I closed by eyes and did a newfs /var and now the system will come up. But I get various messages about missing directories. I create them as needed. This was a rather recent install of 2.2.7R without any ports except ksh. What directories would I normally have on /var? What files might I have lost that I don't know about yet?
