Ok, Re-install panicked...I panicked... Then I remember that I was a clever boy and had moved all my home directories to a seperate partition (yes, partition, not just slice).... Hence, I re-installed minus newfs using a standard user dist set and then did a CVS up...re-made world (after changing my CPU flag to reflect the ACTUAL CPU that I have) and then restarted in single, installworld blah blah, and now I am back up and running... Funny thing is, since I did all that, my system seems to be much more "responsive"...maybe cleared out some problems doing that hahaha... Well, took me half a day in the end...
