I think the Fixit environment only contains tools necessary for
installing the system and has traditionally needed to be small enough
to fit on a 1.44MB floppy disk. So since "ls" wasn't required it
wasn't included.

The problem is there's no "ls" in FixIt mode so you need to use
"echo *" to see what files are present.

Go into Fixit# and examine /dev and/or the dmesg.
