So I wiped the /boot partition and started over. There were maybe too many initrds/cruft in there, since it hadn't been wiped on that drive (hda now) since 9.0 beta2....I've also saved a spiffy Bamboo installed replacement hda (60 GB Maxtor) drive to swap with it if I hit any major "woopsies."
I also make certain that I update /boot every time I see a new version of the hd and net img files, plus burn whatever ISOs I have for the latest version to CD-RWs. Can you say braces _and_ belt? ;-) Nobody ever accused me of being smart, but I'm damned good at breaking things, and finding ways of fixing my own screw ups. > > > > You're absolutely correct though, it's a lot of fun even when weird > > stuff happens.
