Well, thanks for the responces I got, both mail and followups.

Turns out that there is a more serious problem, as well.

After I'd posted that article last night, but before logging in
tonight, I tried booting from disk a1 to see what I could do.  I was
able to mount my /usr partition (type minix), and my dos partition,
but my root partition (ext) wouldn't mount.

Running efsck get the errors at the end of the file included below,
which is the output of efsck -l.  Unfortunately, never having had a
chance to maintain a unix box, I'm not very familiar with fsck.  Can
efsck fix my partition, or will I have to rerun mkefs?

Thanks for the replies.
