Hi Jfs, Bob
I believe that what Bob has suggested is working. I have not restored the vendor partition yet. I ran out of time. I think the vendor is the file system. It partially boots abs then kernel panic sets in which is more than it has done in a long time. I have been writing notes as I go through this in case it happens to someone else. I'll let you know tonight if a copy of your backups is beneficial.
You guys are awesome
Craig

Does it work with Bob's idea ?

If it don't, it's easy to backup the mtd partitions from a running
system with dd :
lothar:~# dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/tmp/test-mtd0.dd
512+0 enregistrements lus
512+0 enregistrements écrits
262144 octets (262 kB) copiés, 0,295637 s, 887 kB/s
lothar:~# l /tmp/
total 260
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262144 nov 12 12:27 test-mtd0.dd
lothar:~# file /tmp/test-mtd0.dd
/tmp/test-mtd0.dd: data
I can upload the files somewhere for you.
