Hi, I just recently upgraded from FreeBSD 8.1 to FreeBSD 8.4. The problem is that the OS is no longer stable.
It upgraded PHP and Perl and now I can't even boot up the shell via
I would want to first look around to see if I can do another dump or back up some files. Then attempt to do a restore and if all goes well then I will be happy. If things go south. I will have to install the newest FreeBSD OS. I am thinking to install FreeBSD 10 when it's released with a stable version. Do you guys know how long will FreeBSD 10 be supported?

/bin/sh. I downloaded the mfsbsd memstick image onto a USB stick. I can boot off off it. However, don't know the default root password. Before doing the upgrade, I was able to make a dump and save it in a .bz2 format. I would like to know what should I do to try and do a restore and is there any way I can first take a look what's on my servers hard drive before doing the restore?I would want to first look around to see if I can do another dump or back up some files.
