You missed the earlier suggestion - at the single user prompt for a
shell don't just hit enter - type in /rescue/sh
This suggestion was gold for me, but in a different way. I have for
years lamented the passing of static binaries in /bin and /sbin.
I forget who mentioned that /rescue/* are statically linked - I had
never known that.
Today I have just built a 5.4-RELEASE jail on a 9.1-STABLE system, and
being able to include a statically linked 9.1-STABLE 'ps' is very useful.
The 5.4 version of ps is useless in this jail.
And just in case the significance is lost on Bernt, /rescue/sh does not
rely on libc, so it won't care if libc is broken.
