for general info and public thanks.

the first folk both near and freebsd-clueful to respond were
  Moses Leslie <moses@accretive-networks.net>
  David Kirchner <davidk@flyingcroc.net>

this morning (well, my morning:-), david went into our rack
  o fixed a miscabled floppy (yes, this machine is pre wwii
    and still has a floppy drive)
  o configed the bios to boot on power up (dead battery?)
  o stuck in a pci vga
  o stuck in a freebsd 4.x cd
  o fixed the boot block that we had mangled
  o and has not even expressed his disgust at the state
    of that rack

deep thanks to david and moses.  i hope they'll have lunch
on us at icon or palace kitchen.
