sure this is sub-optimal, but it worked fine. An alternative is to boot
to single-user from Software CD 1 (Not the Install CD), newfs the slice
which was the root filesystem, mount it as /a or /mnt then restore onto
it. Shouldn't have to format/label the disk (unless it's a replacement
disk which may need partitioning depending on the original). Have done it
a few times (using ufsrestore) no problem. Paul
