Hello

I was adding a user and when I did that and tried to log in as root it
did not let me do that.

I am running 3.3-STABLE FreeBSD. I restarted the system and it gave me a
dfs1f1d:>  prompt. After this I followed the instructions:

boot -s
At the question about the shell to use I  hit ENTER but got the
following error: cannot open /.sd/.sh
and then I got a hash prompt
I performed the /sbin/fsck and had no errors
then I did /sbin/mount -u / and when I did a /sbin/mount -a it
complained of errors and asked to perform fsk on /var and /user.

What do I do ? Please help.

I can login as myself but not as root currently.

Please help.

Regards
Jerin
