Wow! it worked.   thanks alot.

I had even more stuff on this disk than I remember.
Good thing I got in.

Those 2 lines though...
$ sleep 90 < /dev/rsd0d &
$ mbrlabel -w sd0

what an incantation:)!

what does this do, how does it work?

I'm guessing it opens up a WORM hole for 90 seconds
in which you can gets your mounts in.

I don't understand it very well. Anyway...

thks!
