I apologize if this appears twice, but in addition to this problem, I'm
having firewall/ISP issues as well.

Last night I downloaded the tgz files for base and kern and (1st
mistake) installed them on usr/opt (to unload the / partition).  When I
went to upgrade from hard disk of course the /usr partition is
unmounted, and I aborted the install (2nd mistake).

Now I can't boot the old 1.4 or resume the 1.4.1 upgrade since my old
/etc has been copied to /etc.old.  Is there any way to copy it back?

Thanks.
