// i don't think you can put your configuration in the
// same place you put your fs.

That's at least not globally true, although maybe it
depends what you mean by "your fs". I have:
	config w4
	filsys main cw4[w<0-3>]
and it works fine. I've not checked to see if the cache
device leaves space that the (pseudo-)worm doesn't.

Certainly it's worth trying sticking the config
elsewhere, and getting a remote, loggable console is
a huge win.

And this should be obvious, but bears repeating given
the consequences: when you say you're looking to
recover an old setup, you know not to ream disks with
data you care about, right?
