Hi.. I'm in need of some help and researching has gotten me lil more than
nowhere...

I have been setting up a development server for my work, mind you I have very
little knowledge of what I'm doing, (my senior programmer put me on the job to
learn) and I've come upon what seems a fairly serious problem I can find no
documentation on. 

My senior programmer requested I set up the ftp to allow anonymous login, as I
had previously disabled it, and to model it after another server we rent space
on. In the /home/ftp dir there were lib, etc, bin, and pub directories in my
ftp tree. On the server I am modelling after, there was all but the lib
directory, out of stupidity after changing permissions on the folder and
decided that still didn't feel secure, I moved it up to the /home directory.
That felt completely wrong and in trying to move it back, everything went
haywire. No commands could be found, and eventually the server froze. When I
tried rebooting, I got the error, 'kernel panic! no init found. try passing
init= to the kernel" so after some more research I found the proper syntax for
passing the init= to the kernel, yet it wouldn't give me a bash prompt. so....
I'm now on the boot diskette, using 'linux rescue' at the bash prompt and the
files I originally moved seemed to be in the proper places, however, nothings
fixed.. I'm thoroughly lost and searches upon searches have revealed nothing.
Would anyone have any advice for me? Or even a link to some documentation?
Am I
screwed?


please help and thank you in advance.. 

Best,
-Kate
