This happens, but don't just reboot.
Peter, are you saying that it's possible my keyboard isn't working because the console hasn't been used for a very long time? If so, why isn't rebooting the easiest thing to do?

That won't work.
I realized that after sending the msg. Because Samba doesn't override the permissions on / which are rwxr-xr-x, right?
What about toor? Isn't that a fallback to root? I've never understood what that was about... you're likely getting a good idea of my skill level about now. :)
No - you ought to be able to su to root still.
But how?
%su - Password: su: no directory %
I checked this before the original answer because, although I wasn't recommending your directory moves, just telling you how to avoid linking individual binaries and files by doing the whole directory, I didn't even want to do that if I
thought it would cause a prob like this.
Hey it's all a learning experience. Fact is it's not even keeping me from doing the work I was originally out to do... don't need root for that.
What clobbered the space on my / - besides having too small an allocation - was using Perl's cpan shell. By deleting /root/.cpan recursively I've fixed that issue. The greater issue is, as has been said, learning to do this on another directory like /usr.
If you can boot onto a FreeBSD CDROM it'd be easy to fix this. Can you?
I still have the 4.8 mini-iso the system was installed with. But I need the console to do this right? Any way I can be sure that the ps2 port/mobo isn't what's really shot? Or does it even matter?
