I know I can do that using hcp.

I don't care if it would cause data inconsistencies, as I'm going to "reformat" the linux partitions anyway. Why would I want this: The system in question can boot in one of two modes: * setup mode: setup a system * run mode: run a system that has already been setup. I currently have some major problems running this. I currently use many cludges. What I ccurrently really miss is a simple and robust way for a system in "run mode" to go back to "setup mode". Such a "hard reset" should have been the perfect solution. > > Any pointers to FMs (that answer this) would be appreciated. Also: are there any *specific* details that might help?
