 Hi, I have a machine running 4.99.72 and when I see that machine,
 it does NOT have anything in /kern.
 
 Then I did 
    ls -l /dev,
 evething seems to be back. Then I did rsync,
 
    rsync -aH /mounf/NFSserver/home/ /export/home/
 
 About in 7 minutes, /kern gets empty again. Then I did
    ls -l /dev/wd0a, 
 which is the root device, /kern seems to be back,
 but missing rrootdev. So I did 
    ls -l /dev/rwd0a, 
 then I get everthing now.
