Ouch. Looks like the hard disk bit the big one...unfortunately I am not very good with disk recovery. I'm forwarding this on to questions@freebsd.org, someone there may be able to detail the procedure.

However, when I re-booted something went wrong. The boot manager works fine, but it keeps looping displaying the *Boot:* prompt. If I hit enter to see the file I can boot from the only file visible is *lost+found* - it looks like all of my old kernels are gone. I can boot from a floppy and use fixit but I can't seem to mount my hard drive. Question: Is there any way to copy a kernel from another machine to the hard drive while using fixit? How do you access the hard drive while using fixit? What utilities are avaliable? Thanks Kirk :)
