installed freebsd source is/are dated around the hours of aug 10, 11
2002.

well, everything was going great... until i ran MAKEDEV thru
mergemaster.  after running MAKEDEV, i saw errors flying by about
missing wheel & operator groups... to which i didn't pay much
attention (as i was thinking that's just silly! wheel group has to
be in /etc/{passwd,groups}.)

since then after rebooting, i/boot process cannot go past...

start_init: trying /sbin/init

...un/loading new/old kernel doesn't further the boot in any way.
various devices -- cd-rw, floppy, hard drives, etc. -- are
identified correctly.


if it helps, kernel configuration is...

...and not-so-old (4.6-stable jun 26-27 2002) boot log...

http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/err/dmesg/delli5000e-dmesg


...what can i do now?

thanks in advance.


kindly cc me (parv_@yahoo.com) as i can't access freebsd list
proper.
