Well, if you really do get "LS: not found", you probably need to turn
off capslock; there is no standard command called LS.

My first reaction is that you probably installed with a separate
partition for /usr, but that's not going to cause ls and cd to fail to
work; ls is not dependent on /usr (it's in /bin and is statically
linked, because it's a critical single-user tool) and cd is a shell
builtin.

If "cd /bin; echo *" doesn't produce a list of files, something like

[ cat chio chmod cp csh date dd df domainname echo ed expr hostname kill ksh ln ls mkdir mt mv pax ps pwd rcmd rcp rm rmail rmdir sh sleep stty sync test

then your install is borked somehow, probably pretty seriously, and you
will likely have to redo it.  If it's this badly damaged it's unlikely
that enough tools are in place to fix it up without going back to the
installation setup.

Well, "mount /usr" might help, but as I said, enough critical commands
are in /bin that that shouldn't be necessary for *something* to work.

What does "cd /bin; echo *" produce?
