Just got the first problematic experience with Panther (TiBook 1 GHz). After finishing setting up the OS 9 partition (which I do need right now), I ran Norton on the OS X partition as minor problems were prompted by File Saver. These were repaired, then I defrag'd and upon re-booting to X.3.2, I get the apple screen, then I'm brought directly to the bash and get the following lines:
/etc/master.passwd: Not a directory /etc/master.passwd: Not a directory -sh: /etc/profile: Not a directory -sh-2.05# in6_ifattach_linklocal: failed to configure a link-local address on lo0 (errno=55) in6_ifattach: lo0 failed to attach a local linklocal address I can issue commands at the shell prompt (-sh-2.05#), but I don't know what to issue. <help> would show me some of the possible commands, I can <ls>, <cd>, etc, <reboot> causes the reboot, i.e. chime, apple screen, bash. also I get the following (-sh-2.05# is the prompt, what follows is what I type): -sh-2.05# ls /etc /etc and: -sh-2.05# ls -als /etc /etc/master.passwd: Not a directory If I hold option while rebooting, I can choose to boot onto the OS 9 partition, which works fine. It looks like some information is corrupted. Is there a simple/quick way to get out of this without having to re-install and reconfigure everything(I just finished that and was scheduled to begin work basically now). Maybe a bash command? I'm rusted on Unix. I have access to external firewire drives/computers. please CC any reply to me, as I'm on digest. cheers, gianfranco -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
