next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I recently had a hard drive failure and I have lost /usr which contains
all my important files etc
Now all i am left with is /usr  and a lost+found directory which
contains thousands of files prefixed with a # eg #691843 (last file)
I haven't even got the basic tools to look at the files, like the
command more for example!
What i want to do is use a fixit disk with networking to ftp the files
to another computer to
see what i  can salvage! I tried using a fixit disk but the kernel
doesn't have the drivers for ep0, my
3com 3c905 NIC.
My question is: Is it possible to get a fixit disk that has a kernel
that has the appropriate drivers so
i can ifconfig the card?? and hopefully recover some of my files!!
I am currently running FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
