When i try to start FreeBSD I get the message: Init can't exec /bin/sh for /etc/rc Exec format error. I have tried to boot into Multiuser mode, with this error message i have tried to boot into singeuser mode, with the same error message i have tried to boot into failsafe mode with the same error message i have tried to clean all my partions with fsck -y (in Fixit# mode), with the same error message i have checked that sh is where it's supposed to be (ls /bin/sh) i have tried smashing my head against the wall with the same error message Any suggestions? _________________________________________________________________ Lättare att hitta drömresan med MSN Resor http://www.msn.se/resor/
