Hi,
I seem to have gotten my system into an odd state with -current. My fault,
no doubt. I think my problem was caused by updating some of the contents
/bin and /sbin without updating my kernel, and so now I can't run a lot of
rather essential stuff (like mount =). I'd like to try booting off a clean
install floppy, dropping to sh, and copying a known -current kernel over to
/netbsd, but I can't seem to mount /usr or / -- every time I try to do so,
I get "device busy" errors. This is with the following command lines:
mount -t ffs -w /dev/wd0a /mnt/root
mount -t ffs -w /dev/wd3e /mnt/usr
Both command lines report the same error. I have already run fsck on both
partitions on both drives.
Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
-Edwin
