No, something caused some corruption in/on the system.
I ran cvsup -g -L2 /etc/cvsupfile, after that completed successfully, I ran
``make world >/root/mk_world.out 2>&1''. While that was running, I did
a kernel config and make in another window and after that compiled ok did an
install. At that point, with make world running, I left it.
The following AM, I tried to check on the make world, but the screen was locked
in the blank mode, so I rebooted the system. This failed during the processing
of rc.conf with:
/bin/sh: Exec format erorr Wrong Architecture
I managed to get the system ``up'' using /bin/csh as the shell and found that
make world had failed at:
===>games/hack
install -c -o bin -m 444 /dev/null /var/games/hackdir/???
Install: unknown user bin
stop
Error Code 1
stop
Error Code 1
stop
Error Code 1
stop
Error Code 1
Stop
When I was able to run file on /bin/sh I got:
MS Windows COFF Unknown CPU
I downloaded the bin dir from 3.1-stable on cdrom and rebooted the system
using kernel.old and ``untarred'' the /bin/* files. I then rebooted and
this time during the processing of rc.conf received:
/bin/stty: Exec format error Wrong Architecture
trap: command not found
trap
HOME=/: Command Not Found
export: Command Not Found
.
.
.
Anyway, at this point it looks like massive corruption and unless you have
any other thoughts, I'll just reload the system from scratch. At this point
I'm interested in any thoughts as to what went wrong ( assuming it was
something I did ), or someother way to fix the system (short of reloading).
Thanks,
