I installed bash2 from the ports collection, then made a symbolic link
like

ln -s /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/sh

Now the computer won't boot.

My questions is, how do I mount the root file system after
booting up the boot floppy?

mount -t <fstype> /dev/wd0

I am not sure of the <fstype>, I could look in /etc/fstab, but I have to
be mounted first to do that! :-)
