I am probably hosed, but I thought I'd check anyway. I had a corrupted
file system (/dev/rwd1s2e) that I was attempting to rebuild. My disk
setup was on a 1G disk, I had 2 partitions. The first held /, swap and
/usr while the second held user file systems. The second partition was
~640 Mb. I tried to use newfs on /dev/rwd1s2e. Things looked okay so
I rebooted (clearly a mistake). Now BSD won't come up. I have booted
from the install floppy so that I could look at the partitions, and it
can't find any.
I have a backup of the users, but I can't find my backups of the root
(/)
and /usr file systems (as they were on a different system and seem to
have been deleted). Is there *any* way to get my system back with out
re-installing. (It will be a pain to re-do the custom X stuff for my
monitor). Thanks.
