Ok, got into a larger problem. Lost networking and cannot boot all the way into the Admin screen on the console, tho I know the system boots as when the first drive comes to rest after booting, about 60 seconds, I am able to ping the box. Also, Disk Utils let me get to the data on both drives (2 120s RAIDed) and I can see all the data.
I was advised to do an Archival install to get a system back. I am concerned about having both drives in when doing this in case I end up flattening both drives and losing all data.
Question is... is it possible to flatten and reinstall first drive, and then try and mount the second drive and rebuild the system, that way? I know this is dicey since I will be relying on a single drive, but I can't think of how to access the data otherwise. This whole thing started when I tried to upgrade openssl and then I lost networking, and the console too. No way to get into the box. But all the data is there when I use disk utils.
OS X 10.2
Ideas? Help?
