hi patrick,
someone else can give a better answer for sure but let me give give a try here. (sorry if you know this already or if i have misunderstood your question).
would reverting to an older fossil snapshot work for you?
if so, you could do this (i have just outlined):
- boot via cdrom
- find fossil's last score (using fossil/last command)
- format fossil partition with that score (flfmt command)
now, remove cdrom and boot from hard disk.
hope this helps.
thanks

running overnight and came back next morning to find that even /bin/ls
had disappeared.
Maybe sources _is_ sick.

PS: recovering from fossil/venti was easy, although I had to hunt down
the previous day's score (thank you Russ for "vacchain", warts and
all), but my attempts at fixing the problem by less disruptive means
were quite an experience.
