In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Here are some things I would try.. -option 1------ boot the boot floppy. use the 'fixit' option. mount tho old root as /mnt mount/usr as /mnt/usr 'cd / ; find / -xdev |cpio -pdmuv /mnt' to copy all of the fixit floppy onto /mnt chroot /mnt cd /usr/src cd /etc make -k install make -k hierarchy make -k world make -k world make world ----option 2----- boot from floppy choose 'minimal install' from ftp let it install through ppp it will only replace / and binaries in /usr, which is basically ok. -------------- On Sun, 11 Oct 1998, Jason C.
