FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE

The system was working fine prior to a kernel recompile where I hoped to
raise the per-process memory limits. Now the kernel boots fine until it
tries to run sh, which dies along with any other shell I try to run when I
boot.

I've booted off the 4.3 cd and told the kernel to mount my / device as
/. Then I rebuilt the kernel with the original values - same problem when
booting off hdd again.

Help! Is there any way I can transfer the cd kernel to the hdd? Or get
some kind of working kernel on the hdd? 

In linux I am familiar with using the boot loader to have multiple kernels
- so that when you build a new one if you make a mistake you can use a
default working one to boot with and return the system to a working state.
