I may have had a scsi problem. This late reply is due to the
scsi bus eventually deciding it had to continually reset, and I
had to power-off uncleanly. Upon powerup, 13/14 filesystems did not
mount - including root.
Sigh.
Spent the last few days installing a few things onto my old computer
trying to get functional "enough" while I try to recover the disk
contents. Review time on how I had those packages configured.
(I have unplugged the possible scsi culprit for now, but will have
to replug it to try to do the restores.)

So far so good. I got it twice. (I don't mind, in the circumstances.)
Thanks for the reply.
