Martin,
I'm not sure what a wrong superblock magic error looks like but I do
know the error I received. I hope you won't mind looking at this
prior netbsd-docs mailing list post of mine:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-docs/2005/08/16/0001.html
I will try your suggestion when I have a test machine available in
about a week or two.
Thanks for your feedback,
Ryan
