It's back up and running.
The disk that 'failed' had logged messages about hard errors, but a
reboot "fixed" it. In any case, I added a 300MB SCSI disk and
controller (upto 1GB of disk space), and did some data moving
operations.
Result: -current is now on the SCSI disk, and I'm mirroring "packages"
onto the potentially failing disk (cause -current is more important.)
Another 1.3GB SCSI disk may be added in the future, so I can make the
machine a full mirror of ftp.netbsd.org. Ahh, the joys of scrounging
equipment to provide a service ;)
Luke.
