Thanks very much for the input.

I have all of the above.

At the risk of being a pest here, I want to make sure that I
understand. I'm assuming that doing a newfs would lay a new
file system down on the partition thereby eliminating whatever
was on it. I would then restore the contents from whatever.
Is that correct? Will doing a newfs on the root filesystem
affect my ability to boot?
Thanks again. As I say, I appologize for being a pest.
