Thanks Richard. So unfortunately, I was an idiot and ran installworld without rebuilding and installing a new kernel (the one I have was built on Nov. 1). Now everything coredumps, including rm, ls, etc. I cannot make installworld, installkernel, buildworld or buildkernel. I am able to get myself to a single-user prompt as root, but not much else. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can salvage this? Or will I have to reinstall anew? (for those in freebsd-questions, I apologize in advance, I asked there earlier this morning as well) Thanks, Ed --- Richard Coleman <richardcoleman@mindspring.com> wrote: > Sure. I can do that.
