I used to get that same error after the statfs fiasco because my installworld didn't finish, I didn't even have the gencat program, or the install program. A lot of folks have foiled around with manually copying the files from /usr/obj/* to their respective targets. If your not going to use a livecd to fix it, rebuild afterwards, then you need to at least put your /rescue in your PATH before the broken /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin path stuff. __ __ _ | \/ | __ _ ___| |_ __ _ | |\/| |/ _` / __| __/ _` | | | | | (_| \__ \ || (_| | |_| |_|\__,_|___/\__\__,_| unzip ; strip ; touch ; finger ; mount ; fsck ; more ; yes ; umount ; sleep masta@wifibsd.org http://wifibsd.org
