Hi, there

I've just  screwed up my device.hints file when using  echo "blah" >
/boot/devides.hints,
and blasted away all the configure file and now when I boot the
fbsd5.4 there is no
dmesg scroll up the screen, and same to reboot,  so can somebody tell me ho=
w to=20
recover this file and let me see what's happening during boot and
reboot process.

Thanks,

 whatluo.
