	I'm not sure what you mean "No copy from rescue".  You should be able
to type :

/rescue/sh

	and get an intact working shell.

	I additionally did :

	PATH=/rescue:$PATH;export PATH

	So that things that DID work since they were in /rescue were available to me. 

	Then you need to go to the /usr/obj/usr/src and get the compiled versions of :

/bin/sh
/usr/bin/make
/usr/bin/awk
/usr/sbin/mtree
/usr/sbin/zic
/lib/libedit.so.6
/lib/libncurses.so.7
/usr/bin/env
/usr/lib/libgnuregex.so.4
/usr/lib/libbz2.so.3
/usr/bin/find

	and put them in their rightful place. They are all over, so its a bit of a
struggle to locate them. But once you do, just "cp -p". I had to do a "cp -fp" on
the /bin/sh since I got "Text file busy". 

	Once I got all those, I went back to /usr/src and did the "make installworld"
TWICE. The first time I know there were a few errors, but it went all the way through.
The second time I ran it under "script" and did "grep COPY typescript" and it came up
clean (Except for one reference to a file that had COPY in its name. :) )

	I'm trying to find that out myself! I installed over 300 packages from ports
after loading mini-ISO/FTP-minimal, and after the installworld/reboot (after this fix)
they are all broken.
