1. So shutdown works and a restart takes you back to a console?

2. Does this take you to a login prompt or straight in with the command prompt?

3. try ps ax

4. To get your files off I suggest you package them up as a tar file and ftp them to another box eg...

cd $HOME
tar cf /tmp/my.tar *
cd /tmp
ftp another-host
binary
put my.tar

5. then install the OS from scratch, in your case borrow a DVD drive from another machine.

macptopbm(1)                                                  General Commands Manual                                                 macptopbm(1)

NAME

       macptopbm - convert a MacPaint file into a portable bitmap

SYNOPSIS

       macptopbm [-extraskip N] [macpfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a MacPaint file as input.  Produces a portable bitmap as output.

OPTIONS

       -extraskip
              This  flag  is  to get around a problem with some methods of transferring files from the Mac world to the Unix world.  Most of these
              methods leave the Mac files alone, but a few of them add the "finderinfo" data onto the front of the Unix file.  This means an extra
              128  bytes  to  skip over when reading the file.  The symptom to watch for is that the resulting PBM file looks shifted to one side.
              If you get this, try -extraskip 128, and if that still doesn't look right try another value.

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
