Hello list. Yesterday I got my long lost home server back on which I was running FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE. I thought the smart thing to do would be to upgrade to 10.3-RELEASE because, what could possible go wrong, right? I'll skip the details, but I'm basically left with an unbootable system, as init cannot even finish before failing with this error: "Init can't exec /bin/sh for /etc/rc: Exec format error" I believe that this is due to my having rebuilt world with erroneous make.conf options, and I'd love to be able to rebuild the world via USB. I've already got my USB handy and will be working on this when I get home, but I wondered if there's a why I can rebuild the world on my server's disk after having booted from the USB? Perhaps, mount the server's disk and chroot into it? Should that work? Thanks in advance! -- Andre Goree -=-=-=-=-=- Email - andre at drenet.net Website - http://www.drenet.net PGP key - http://www.drenet.net/pubkey.txt -=-=-=-=-=-
