It sounds like you can still change things by (probably) booting off
whatever medium you used to install the system. Are various programs
ok?
vlad:~ 16> ls -l /bin/sh /sbin/init /netbsd
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 529404 Dec 11 14:06 /bin/sh*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1400682 Dec 12 15:30 /netbsd*
-r-xr--r-- 1 bin bin 250364 Dec 11 14:07 /sbin/init*
and there should be about 450-odd devices and files in /dev. Is this
the case?
Simon.
