I almost broke my NetBSD system by mistake

[Ramiro Aceves]

Hi,

I have experienced a strange issue. I was in /usr/pkgsrc/wip directory 
as root under XFCE4 terminal, trying to create a package with url2pkg 
URL. I was moving a bit too fast, cutting and pasting commands with the 
mouse while logged in as root (also doing other things at the same time, 
bad practice). Then I decided to run a "git pull -r" first. I'm not sure 
what exactly I typed, but Xorg suddenly stopped, leaving only a black 
screen with a white rectangular cursor at the top left corner.

I switched to a pure console, and when I ran the ps ax command to see 
what processes were still running, the system complained that it 
couldn’t find libm.so.0. I immediately got scared.

I rebooted and tried to run startx again, but it complained that it 
couldn’t find the libm.so.0 library. The ps command didn’t work either. 
Also during booting messages awk:could not find libm.so.0 or something 
like that, but it booted fine.

I rebooted once more, everything was broken the same,  and used sysinst 
to reinstall the base.tgz set. The system worked fine after that, but I 
still wasn’t completely satisfied, so I reinstalled all of the remaining 
 set files except for the etc files.

What could have happened? Is there any way to know what the actual 
command I entered was?

Regards.
