Dear Questions@freebsd,

So I blow up my kernel, big panic, system won't boot. FreeBSD panic
floppy broken (of course).

Solution: set `boot from CDROM' in BIOS, pop in the FreeBSD 2.2.2 cdrom
and enter fixit mode. Ten minutes later I'm typing an e-mail to the
FreeBSD questions list, to tell the world how good I think FreeBSD is.

One minor point: could the 2nd `live' cdrom perhaps be made bootable
too, with a special fixit kernel (or any kernel). That would eliminate
changing the cdrom halfway.

Good work guys, thanks.

  Enjoy,
    Kees Jan

PS. This isn't the kind of e-mail to respond to, but if you do, please
    CC me, as I'm not on the list.
