Both the files /libexec/rc and /bin/sh are present and /bin/sh is
a link to /bin/bash. Roland pointed out that the /bin/sh problem
could be related to the file /lib/ld.so, but this file is also
present. hd2s1 is hdc1, not hdc3 under Linux, If there are 2 HDD's,
and both are primary and secondary master respct. and a Atapi CDROM as
primary slave.

The [PTBL] means that the drive HDD uses an LBA mode of
addressing:
%%% hd0: ST32132A, 2015MB w/120kb Cache, CHS=1023/64/63
%%% hd1: CREATIVE CD1220E, ATAPI CDROM drive
%%% hd2: ST34321A, 4103MB w/128kb Cache, CHS=8894/15/63
The first HDD has 4096 cylinders, but in LBA they are reported as 1023
cylinders. Also my second HDD has 8894 cylinders, but under LBA they are
reported as 523 cylinders. Nothing fishy about that.

All parts of both the disks are accessible from Linux (Take any
version).
