Boot Problems!

[Peter Buckner]

Certainly you could fix the /etc/passwd problem by editing the file (using 
ed) from the startup
application. However, if all you have is the system on the hard disk, 
there is no telling what
other problems there may be. Also, it's too late to do a "clean backup" to 
store away for later.

I have loaded A/UX on my ci (from a CDROM) probably a half dozen times 
within the first
week or so -- some of the early crashes trash things very successfully. 
The good news is that
once configured, I've had few problems.

Sorry for the news...
