Emergency: Extracted over 9.1 /etc, from 9.0 src.txz

Soon afterwards, for usual commands as ls, mkdir, I would get the error 'Permission denied' as root. Before reboot, I've restored from /var/backups, master.passwd, groups and aliases into /etc and rebuilt databases.

Attempting reboot:

Code: 
init: can't exec /bin/sh for /etc/rc: Permission denied

This has thrown me into single user mode. I've picked the default /bin/sh shell and got:

Code: 
init: can't exec /bin/sh for single user: Permission denied

However choosing /bin/tcsh worked, so now I'm in single user mode. Just before the reboot cron mailed me:

Code: 
/usr/libexec/atrun
cron: execl: couldn't exec `/bin/sh': Permission denied

/usr/libexec/save-entropy
cron: execl: couldn't exec `/bin/sh': Permission denied

However, /bin/ls: Permission denied, but setting path to /rescue, worked! Where should I start fixing? Help ASAP.

Thanks in advance! ;)
 
Extracting src.txz into / not only overwrote /etc but made /bin/ls, /bin/sh directories! Got rid of the /bin directory and made it a symlink, pointing to /rescue. Via mergemaster I've fixed /etc/*. Now booted ok and am rebuilding world.
