Date: Wed, 03 Jul 1996 14:34:09 GMT Organization: FU Berlin, Fachbereich Physik, Institut fuer Theoretische Physik Lines: 14 Message-ID: <4re0df$l3h@fu-berlin.de> Reply-To: thimm@physik.fu-berlin.de NNTP-Posting-Host: axl.dialup.fu-berlin.de (160.45.218.93) X-Access: 16 17 19 X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 I tried to add another IDE drive on wd2. Unfortunately this was the first time I tried to do something like that. I launched newfs /dev/wd0c instead of /dev/wd2c, and broke the action a moment after. The system still worked, but fsck -n gave a million errors. I tried to shutdown to run fsck on the system, but since then I cannot get into this anymore! Is there something I can do to save my system? Please answer as fast as possible, thank you!
