Hello,
Thank you for the advice. I downloaded the new bootdisks and fixit disk,
and was able to recover the system using this method. One more for the
memory banks. One thing that got me for a short while, was that the disk
systems need to be fscked prior to mounting, or else they will fail to mount.
Cheers!
Jon
