So I had FreeBSD 1.1 up and running just fine. Went and got the scrdist,
and wnet single user and ran magic to get the install commands back (just like
the notes said). Extracted everything nice and pretty. So I figure
Just go back multi-user. Hit ^D. Can't find sh. Init died. When it
trys to reboot: PANIC, init died, dumping....... etc. Repeats forever.
WTF? I sure don't wanna go through the whole damn install process again.
Somebody, please, give me a clue.
Thanks,
wienie
