BUt it's the partition table itself that gets creamed with apparently 
random data.  So the kernel might be found, and boot starts, but 
eventually (going multiuser?) it looks up the values in /etc/fstab, 
tries to find those partitions in the table, is fed garbage, and panics 
when unable to mount . . .
