Nothing like that - I used a CD burner on another machine, and then ftp'ed
the image to my home dir in case I needed more copies.  After a few days,
I decided that I didn't need it after all, and deleted it... or did I?

The question is how badly did I screw things up by running fsck?

It still reports

pcayk:/etc# fsck -p -f /dev/wd0s1f
/dev/rwd0s1f: FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK (SALVAGED)
/dev/rwd0s1f: SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD (SALVAGED)
/dev/rwd0s1f: BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS (SALVAGED)
/dev/rwd0s1f: 176225 files, 6278980 used, 1342864 free (39576 frags,
162911 blocks, 0.5% fragmentation)

(I think with -p it doesn't actually salvage anything, just checks the
disk).

Worth a reboot?
