The Plan9 file server crashed due to power outage. After reboot it
complains about /adm/users file missing.. The console message is
	..
	fs is "main"
	cmd_users: cannot find /adm/users
	..
Due to this a terminal can't attach to the file server. I tried
to reinstall it from cd-rom but face the problem of not being
able to attach to the server. Newuser command also complains about
not being able to open /adm/users for write.. I have even tried to
overwrite the SCSI disk but have had no success.. Is there a way out?

Please help.
