Bcc: ksraghavan@yahoo.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi, A couple of days back there was a power cut and my FreeBSD (4.4) system won't boot up fully. It bails out while during mounting. It mounts all the file systems and while mounting procfs it gives the error message: mount: exec mount_procfs not found in /sbin and /usr/sbin: ENOENT and gives a prompt for entering a shell. /bin/sh doesn't work. It fails with the error message: init: can't exec /bin/sh for single user: Permission denied. Luckily I have another FreeBSD partition using which I can boot up and when I looked at the executables, all the executables are "unbranded" so they won't run. It was started running once I branded them as FreeBSD executables, but I still see the above two error messages. I can run zsh when the prompt is given for running the shell. But I can't run any other executables in that shell. It gives permission denied error. Not sure why the executables have become "unbranded" in the first place and though they run properly when I boot from other partition, they don't run when I boot from the original partition. Appreciate your help Thanks, Sri. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
