What is odd is that the machine booted FreeBSD perfectly at least 5-6 times before I ran into the weird "ps" error and then it would not boot. I still need to figure out what caused the problem in the first place. For the moment, is there a way to reinstall just the core 5.4 kernel distribution files, but not anything else? Is it legitimate to do a recursive copy of all the boot files on the CD, ie: /dist/boot to the twed1s1a slice's /boot directory. Then I do the boot0cfg and disklabel command and then fixes any boot manager config files. Would that work? Fred. Giorgos Keramidas wrote: >On 2005-09-06 19:34, "Frederick N.
