The system came back up nicely; -s did what it should do, and supplying another device/file produced the expected result. However, ps and w complained about a floating point exception, and dmesg complained about some bad magic. These problems went away when I re-installed the old boot blocks. What might I be doing wrong ? (Apart from using a computer in the first place, that is) -Bernard
