I AM on a > PIII > box (thought it was PIV). :( I would say you have two choices. Either boot from a cdrom/floppy etc and basically go through the installation again but do not newfs any partitions. Just install things like the base system. This will make it overwrite all the binaries etc with working versions (although old ones). You can then cvsup and buildworld again afterwards. Alternatively if you have more than one bsd box and your current one is up and stable enough to run a make installworld from an NFS mount you could compile world on one box and install via an NFS mounted /usr/src, /usr/obj. There may be other solutions but I would say your system is currently quite seriously hosed and those two are the only ways I can think of right now to get it back. Also as for my information about unloading kernel and booting old kernel I have not had to do this for a long time and so may have had the syntax slightly wrong. I apologise :) But there is a proper way to do it where it will load the old modules properly. -- email: matt_at_xtaz.co.uk - web: http://xtaz.co.uk/ Hardware, n.: The parts of a computer system that can be kicked.Received on Tue Apr 29 2003 - 05:25:50 UTC
