I'd done a FreeBSD install over the top of the pre-existing OpenBSD install. The way that the FreeBSD install's written, I guess it decided it didn't need or want a new partition, so it didn't erase the existing OpenBSD partitons, it just laid the FreeBSD files over the top of the OpenBSD files. When I booted tcsh, I get this error: (note the slightly fancy prompt is my business, not FreeBSD's.) september:root:/usr/src:#40#tcsh Message Catalog System: corrupt file.Message Catalog System: corrupt file.september:root:/usr/src:#28# See the error "Message Catalog System: corrupt file" ... I figure it's caused by the file overlaysr/lib probably. somehow. I tried doing a buildworld over the top of it, to find out where it all came from, because the alternative fix is very difficult to think about.
