To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Wed, 17 Jan 1996 09:34:17 -0600 (CST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, First, I must say that I am a huge BSD fan ever since I started using it in undergraduate, late 80's. I think FreeBSD is a first rate OS, keep up the good work! Now, I have just accomplished installing 2.1.0. This did not go as smoothly as I had hoped for, but I am not very particular so, that's ok. However, somewhere between reboots, /stand/sysinstall disappeared. I was planning on using it to pull down more of the distribution... (While I was wrestling with the install itself, I limited the install distribution to the minimal set needed.) [Details about why installation was difficult for me are available upon request :-).] I figured it is buried in the root.flp somewhere, but whenever I try to mount /dev/fd0 /mnt, it says: Incorrect super block. So, could some kind soul lend me the binary to sysinstall for 2.1, or let me know how to recover it from the floppy? -- James
