Are you sure about that?  A few months ago I hosed my / partition by
mounting a 1GB Dos drive and reading a file.

I've learned that if you ever see this error message:
 
/kernel mountmsdosdf(): Warning root directory is not a multiple of the
clustersize in length

IMMEDIATELY, unmount your dos partitions or something is going to be lost.
