restore from backup? :) something tells me this is not an option. Actually, even if it is an option, you probably need to get the system up enough to do your restore... Several ways. Easiest might just be to reinstall OpenBSD from scratch, but don't touch your /home partition (when it asks where to mount it, say "none"), then add it to /etc/fstab after reboot. You did put /home in a separate partition, right? :) You could also boot bsd.rd, and do something like: mount /dev/wd0a /mnt cd /mnt tar xzpf /path/etc.tgz then go through and re-customize it. You will be worried about hostname.if, hosts, myname, mygate, resolv.conf, but also other files, too. (now you can restore from your backup. :) Once you get the system gimping along, take a look in /var/backups. Now, vow to kiss the feet of the person who did that person should you ever meet them. Or buy them a beer, which they will probably prefer anyway. This doesn't apply if you reloaded the whole system and blew away your /var partition. You did have /var in a separate partition, right? Nick.
