        Will try, but ...
        During boot.. fsck kicks in cos the filesystem is truly boll88ks

        It fails and then prompts for root to continue.

        .... And then I hang head in shame as I have been in MS land too
        long with new job, been awhile since i have been any where
interesting in
        penguin land, i forgot root pwd.
