Hello Hackers,

So, I backup my FreeBSD 2.1 system to a tape drive on another system.

Of course, I had created a fixit disk (as well as a boot disk).

I boot up and select the fixit disk option from the menu.

Then I ifconfig up my ethernet interface.

Now, I ping the "other" host, and much to my disappointment ping tells me
that it cannot ping because ICMP is an "unknown protocol".

Not to be put off I try telnet, and I am sorry to report that it indicates
that its an "unknown service (telnet/tcp)".

Charging right ahead, I decide to put a copy of /etc/protocols and 
/etc/services on the fixit disk.

This does not help.

HElP!!!!PLEASE!!!!!!
