Hi, I recently had a strange crash on my Dell Inspirion 9100 running FreeBSD 5.3 stable. I'm using Gnome 2.8 and gdm. I was logged in as root and when I logged out instead of being greeted by the gdm login screen I got an error "gdm has repeatedly failed to start X". Switching to ttys1 in the wane hope of getting a terminal login I saw another error saying "Getty getting too many repeats on ttys1 sleeping for 30 sec" or something like that. This is when I rebooted the system. When the system booted I got the following: "libexec libetid.4.so not found" type the full path to your shell or press Enter for /bin/sh. I then switched to /rescue/sh. After mounting / I discover that /lib was missing and /usr and /var were present but empty! No logs no nothing :( I then ran fsck -f and when it ran trough ad03e /usr and ad03f /var it reported tons of files present and in use. It didn't give any errors. But I can't see any of the files in these directories. Any Ideas how to proceed from here?
