I am having some problems with my installation of 386BSD.

First, I installed the binary distribution, but when it got to the end it
hung.  This occurred after the "Final installation" message.  It did not
ask me for a system name.  So I rebooted the machine and the system
banner came up and the info with all my equipment then this:

Automatic reboot in progress...
/dev/rwd0a: 2129 files, 26395 used, 295476 free (284 frags, 36899 blocks, 0.1% f
ragmentation)

starting system logger.

     386BSD (amnesiac) (console)

login:

Is my file system corrupt?  If so, can I fix it without reinstalling?  (I
lost all the bin01 files, they were in /tmp).  Also, what is the
device 0/1 not found?

Also had a problem with tip:

tip com2
/dev/com2:  permission denied
link down

Thanks for any help with these problems.
