Well,

I did as you suggested, but I also clearly did something very wrong all 
on my own.  I apparently mistyped something because now everything in 
/var is gone except for yp.  The only way to connect to the machine now 
is via a ZTerm console as ssh can't find the the files it needs in /var 
(or /usr/var as it is now).  So maybe reinstalling is the best idea, 
after all.

Assuming that's true, do I just "shutdown -h now" and tell OF to load 
from an install CD, or do I go through the process from scratch?

And what about disklabel and newfs?  Are these things I should be 
looking into either of these?
