If you've built a new kernel it should be file, unless... /stand/sysinstall is in /etc/rc. I don't know where it would be, rc.network, rc.local? Also, can you just get out of sysinstall by choosing "Exit Install"? Will it restart, or get you into a shell. If the above doesn't work, start the emergency shell, move /stand to /standd and reboot. Can you boot into signle user mode? > After a crash, I couldn't boot. > > I fiddled around with the boot and fixit-floppies, and am now the system can > boot again. > However, it runs /stand/sysinstall instead of the normal startup. > > I can mount all disks, and start an emergency shell.
