The trick of running `echo *` to accomplish a task similar to `ls` worked. Along with `pwd` and `echo *` I was able to poke my way around the 4.7-RELEASE CD-R and fixit shell ("Emergency Holographic Shell on VTY F4" accessible by Ctrl-Alt-F4). The problem I now have is that I would like to mount_msdos a regular floppy then copy ("cp" or "cpio?") a file from it called ld-elf.so.1 to the mounted partition which contains FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE on my hard disk. Typing just "mount" is not found. Oddly enough, typing "help" or "cd /bin" then "./help" says "Permission denied." I cannot locate a "mount" binary, however, I found "mount_nfs" and "mount_mfs" so would either of those work for mounting both an msdos floppy then my 4.7 partition? Then must I use cpio to copy "A:\ld-elf.so.1" over to the 4.7 partition?? Thanks, I really appreciate it.
