You got that right!

Hope your right. Next time (if I'm brave enough to try again) I'll follow the
instructions given in the articles that I was reading more carefully. In one
article it said to go to single user mode, but I ignored that and fiddled with
hdparm whilst in X.

I rebooted the system using my 'parted boot/root disks' - linux root=/dev/hda3
didn't work. I mounted the root-fs and had a look around. There was no /lib directory
and a lost+found directory that was full mainly of ordinary files and some directories.
All had numbers for their names.
I suppose the lack of system libraries explains why the kernel was not able to use/find
/sbin/init.
Other than the missing /lib the system seems intact. I shall create a temporary partition with
'parted', fill it with important configuration files and then reinstall. Shouldn't take too
long and it'll give me an opportunity to test a debian woody cd that I burnt a few days ago.
Thanx for the assistance.
