Hi I hope this is the right list for this question... I have (had?) freeBSD 3.3 installed. Power to system went off without a shutdown command...on reboot of freeBSD as soon as kernel starts....i get a screen dump and the system re-boots. trying kernel.GENERIC doesn't help. can't even get to the point to boot into single mode.... I booted with the fixit CDROM and was able to mount the drive and I see that /usr directory appears empty...looks hosed? also tried fsck -b 32 /dev/rwd3s1 from fixit CDROM but on reboot same screen dump and system reboots on its own... I also tried alternate superblock of 65568 (as reported by newfs -N /dev/rwd3s1) with the same results... fsck reports bad superblock....i answer yes to questions...and when i run fsck again it gives same error...this process can be repeated ad-infinitum or until the user (thats me) gets bored.... Is this system recoverable? I don't want to re-install without giving the recovery procedure the old college try.... I looked at the 'fsdb' command...<shudder>....but never used it since i figured I would only make matter worse... Suggestions appreciated..... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
