sorry for the cross posting, but please read on.
This notebook was running Windows XP till one day decided to crash
and since then the feared blue screen of death started to appear, all
the king horses and all the kings men couldn't put this little
note book back in working condition.
I made it boot diskless, took about 2 minutes, booted current, mounted
the ntfs partition, recovered all important files, and is now running
current - with some minor problems - but no crash yet.
So bsdtar crashes, reboot hangs, but hey, the system recovers,
and no panics! and this is current! even X11 is working.
thanks for a great job!
