no promises or guarantees, read the relevant man pages before doing
this,
there's probably a mistake in here somewhere
venti/venti -h tcp!*!8000 -c /dev/sdC0/arenas
dumpvacroots
take one of the old venti scores and do
fossil/flfmt -h $host -v $score /dev/sdC0/fossil
reboot and pray

yes, that might be an approach, just use venti...but what I'd like
to do is use the last fossil dump.
my machine is unbootable at the moment, since /bin and some other
stuff have been wiped off the harddisk.
There actually has been no filesystem damage. This can only be the
cause of my braindamage.
What i think i need to do is:
boot from livecd
get venti running somehow
get fossil running with venti somehow
revert fossil to the last dump
reboot
I am trying to find out how to do the venti and fossil steps...
Of course, if i'm wrong, please enlighten me, as i am still quite
ignorant of the inner workings of the system, fossil and venti.
Thanks, though.

Alternatively you could just do:
9fs dump
cp -gux /n/dump/2007/0901/386/bin/* /368/bin
