I have a small internet server running on freebsd 2.2.2 on 1998 08 09 at about 1730, a message was displayed that said "shutting down at 1800 hrs" according to a person logged into the server. i was not here, and did not see the exact wording or if it even presented a reason for shutting down. today, when i came in to work with the server, i found that it would not boot, saying that it could not find the /bin/sh file. it said "File or directory doesn't exist" and then asked me for an alternate pathname for the shell specified in /etc/rc I tried several different shells (bash, csh, sh, etc...) and none of them worked. i got onto #FreeBSD on EFNET running through my secondary DNS and an individual there said to download the boot and fixit disk images for FreeBSD 2.2.7 i did so, and the boot disk will not boot, halting at "ep0 not found at 0x300" just before the warning about /bin/sh, there is a line saying WARNING: / Not properly dismounted. i would just as soon not have to reformat all of my drives and send them off to data recovery labs...is there anything you can suggest? thanks- mark, s.admin, cyberhall To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
