hi patrick, someone else can give a better answer for sure but let me give give a try here. (sorry if you know this already or if i have misunderstood your question).
would reverting to an older fossil snapshot work for you? if so, you could do this (i have just outlined): - boot via cdrom - find fossil's last score (using fossil/last command) - format fossil partition with that score (flfmt command) now, remove cdrom and boot from hard disk. hope this helps. thanks dharani On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 3:11 PM, Patrick Kristiansen < patrick.kasse...@gmail.com> wrote: > I did a pull yesterday and it has removed all my /386/ and it is now unable > to boot. > > boot: /386/init: '/386/init' does not exist > panic: boot process died: unknown > panic: boot process died: unknown > dumpstack disabled > cpu0: exiting > > > Hints on how to restore are welcome.... > > -Patrick > > 2009/1/23 <lu...@proxima.alt.za> > > > srv: dial tcp!sources.cs.bell-labs.com!9fs: connection refused >> > bind: /n/sources/plan9: '/n/sources/plan9' does not exist >> > servermount: bind 545911: bind >> >> Hm, about as bad as when a couple of days ago I left replica/pull >> running overnight and came back next morning to find that even /bin/ls >> had disappeared. >> >> Maybe sources _is_ sick. >> >> ++L >> >> PS: recovering from fossil/venti was easy, although I had to hunt down >> the previous day's score (thank you Russ for "vacchain", warts and >> all), but my attempts at fixing the problem by less disruptive means >> were quite an experience. >> >> >> >
