I'm on W20-575-49, at 12:49am. 5/20/94, and the computer is acting
strangely. I talked to a SIPB member, who studied it, and said it
probably needs a reinstall. Apparently, someone was messing around as
the Root user, was clumsy, and deleted some vital files, like the
kernel. Below are the error messages that the console window displayed
when I first logged in. Any questions about this, just contact me.
Errors from console:
00:32 ldopen: cannot open /vmunix
00:32 cleanup: can't get kernel namelist
