Filesystem trouble

[Eirik Finne]

Hi,

I recently had a strange crash on my Dell Inspirion 9100 running FreeBSD 5.3 
stable. I'm using Gnome 2.8 and gdm. I was logged in as root and when I 
logged out instead of being greeted by the gdm login screen I got an error 
"gdm has repeatedly failed to start X". Switching to ttys1 in the wane hope 
of getting a terminal login I saw another error saying "Getty getting too 
many repeats on ttys1 sleeping for 30 sec" or something like that. This is 
when I rebooted the system.
When the system booted I got the following: "libexec libetid.4.so not found" 
type the full path to your shell or press Enter for /bin/sh. I then switched 
to /rescue/sh. After mounting / I discover that /lib was missing and /usr 
and /var were present but empty!
No logs no nothing :(
I then ran fsck -f and when it ran trough ad03e /usr and ad03f /var it 
reported tons of files present and in use. It didn't give any errors. But I 
can't see any of the files in these directories.
Any Ideas how to proceed from here?

Best Regards,

Eirik Sveen Finne
