doh! please help.

I was creating some space in my /usr directory to install a new package. As root I had moved some of the big ones and replace them with links to the new locations. for some reason I then thought it a good idea to move /usr/lib to /export/home. After doing that absolutely nothing worked, not su, mv, cp, pkgadd, ls, etc. etc. etc.. about the only thing I could do was change up and down directories.

Please help, is there anything I can do to recover from this apart from reinstalling solaris. I can't even log in now.Smilie Smilie Smilie
