You need to complete the installation process.

The base10.* files contain the basic binary set.  Either use the
floppies to extract and install them, or extract them by hand.  To
extract them by hand, do something like this:

shutdown now
mv /sbin/init /sbin/init.old
cp /bin/csh /bin/cat /usr/bin/gzip /usr/bin/tar /tmp
exec /tmp/csh
cd /
/tmp/cat /usr/distrib/base10.* | /tmp/gzip -dc | /tmp/tar xvpBf -
reboot

After rebooting, make sure that the crunched binaries are all gone
(look for 900+K binaries with multiple links).

That should do it, although I make no guarantees. :-)
