Can somebody please help??
I am running FreeBSD 2.2.8 and I have moved "kernel.old", "kernel.GENERIC", and "kernel.save" ..... Now I can't get the box to boot? I thought "kernel" was the only (kernel) files that the system booted from? Does anybody have any idea's what I should do? 
If I could get to my /usr/home directory, I could "cp" kernel.* back to Root...... I also made a tape backup before creating this disaster, But cannot get to that dev either! 

Could somebody please take a minute to help...................:-(
