Oct 27, 2014 6:22 PM in response to brianjwolfeby BobHarris,sh-3.2$ is a /bin/sh bourne shell prompt.
So are you talking about a Terminal session, or are you in single user mode?
What account are you logged in as?
What do you expect to see? Something like: computername:~ username$
I think you have a command prompt, so getting to the root directory would be as simple as
cd /
and
pwd
will tell you what directory you are currently in.
But Frank Caggiano is correct, you really do need to give a better description of what you are seeing, where you are seeing it, what you expect, and what it is you are trying to actually do.
