Hello,

due to a change of IP number I had to reconfigure my fs.
I rebooted, went to config mode, and tried to change
just ip and ipgw:
 	ip new.ip.address
	ipgw new.ip.g.w
	end
I think at a certain moment I made a typing mistake,
but typed 'end' anyway. Anyway, all I got after config
were panics.

Then I did something silly: I also (re)configured 'service'
and 'config', and  the other ip address, basically everything
except the filsys's:
	service super
	config w0
	...
	end
and now I have the funny feeling that, by re-specifying config,
I have blown away my filsys configuration, confirmed by
panic(no filsys) (and a -- too late -- look at the source).

Does this mean that my only chance to gain acces to the fs
is to indeed re-specify the complete configuration,
including the filsys lines, exactely as I specified them before?
(the unfortunate thing is that I played a bit with filsys lines
 to get it working, and even though I have a pretty good idea,
 I am not completely sure what filsys strings I finally specified)
Or is the configuration stored elsewhere, or can it somehow be
'reverse engineered'?

Feeling, ahem, not so bright this morning,
Axel.
