The key is "try to rescue". After fscking my filesystems
I tried a reboot and ran into the fatal trap. Now I'm back i
fixit mode. What I really want is to get the data files off
and over to another servr. Havng /etc/* and maybe /var/db/pkg/*
would be a big help. Then I could reinstall 5.3 ->5.5 and
finally over to 6.1.
If anybody nearby who understands the FreeSBIE boot disk can
stop by in the next week or two, that'd be great. Are there
ways to scp from the # Fixit environment? Or ways to recompile
kernel and world frm here?
