If fsck ran successfully, you can now restore an accidentally removed /dev/console device file or reset a damaged /etc/passwd file back to its newconfig state.

8.To restore an accidentally removed /dev/console device file, enter the following command:

# mknod /ROOT/dev/console c 0 0

To reset a damaged /etc/passwd file to its newconfig state, enter the following command:

#cp /etc/passwd /ROOT/etc/passwd

9.If you require additional content, it can be loaded using the loadfile command. For example, to get the /etc/magic file:

#loadfile /etc/magic

The loadfile command loads content from the SYSCMDS archive by default. If the content is only available in the INSTCMDS archive, then use the -loption. For example:

#loadfile -l INSTCMDS /sbin/vx_emerg_start

10.When the recovery tasks are complete, exit expert recovery by first entering the menu command at the shell prompt.

#menu

You are then returned to the HP-UX NETWORK SYSTEM RECOVERY screen.

Select b Enter to reboot the system.
