Sorry, ok I went through it again, saying Y to all the "Continue?" prompts but N to all the ones that talked about changing things. The final result was huge, so instead of posting it here I'll host it on my site: http://vtbsd.net/fschk.txt > Well, after all fsck doesn't seem mad (`erase everything and mark fs > clean').

I have ordered an additional 80GB drive for this very purpose (along w/ an external USB enclosure but we don't have to get that working yet). I will let you know when it arrives. If the next step you want to do is going to make changes, I'm happy to wait until the 2nd drive is here and we can do the dd. Thanks!
