Hi!

I've a FreeBSD v2.2 box, which has had the kernel deleted, actually, all 
files in / (but not subdirs) were deleted.  I don't know how or when.  For 
some reason, the box rebooted itself this afternoon, making its sorry state 
known.

I've good backup tape on this sucker, but I don't have the install media or 
a boot floppy.  If I can find some way to boot the sucker, I can restore 
the files in / and it should live again.

Any thoughts?

Cheers!
Jon
