Well, I had it booting OK at beginning.  Well, sorta.  It didn't require 
a password for root.  I copied the passwd and master.passwd files from 
the backup of /etc and ran pwd_mkdb.  Now, not only can root not login, 
but NOBODY can login.  It seems EVERYONE's passwords are messed up!

I really can't say; I haven't had a chance to look at anything yet -- 
have to figure out how to login first :-)  Wouldn't it be cool, though, 
if it locked the CD drive and then automatically eject it when you 
unmount it? <g>
