Repairing "kernel not found"

More info. If I "ls" either before or after setting the bootpath or
module_path environment variables, the response is: "open '/' failed: no
such file or directory". The "load kernel" command returns: "can't file
'kernel'". Do I need to load a module so that the 3Ware drive "twe" is
loaded? The loaddev and currdev variables are both set to "disk1s1a:"
Thank you again.
