Yes, You need to exploit the notion of booting from another root filesystem, mounting the broken root, and then taking corrective action on the corrupted files. The easy way is to grab a recent livecd from the jp snapshot service. With the jpsnap livecd I was able to boot, copy all the working binaries from the cdrom over the corrupt binaries on the local HDD. I suggest you try the same idea. Certainly there are other ways to do the same exact thing, but without the time and expense of downloading the iso9660 image, and burning a rom. Certainly you could make due with a set of floppies, and/or nfs from another -current machine. __ __ _ | \/ | __ _ ___| |_ __ _ | |\/| |/ _` / __| __/ _` | | | | | (_| \__ \ || (_| | |_| |_|\__,_|___/\__\__,_| unzip ; strip ; touch ; finger ; mount ; fsck ; more ; yes ; umount ; sleep [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wifibsd.org _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
