Hi guys,

I've managed to locate the NetBSD slice with all the partitions and I've
got all my data back.
First off, a great big THANK YOU VERY MUCH to Tim, Ian, Fred, Giles and
Thomas for your prompt and useful replies. You guys have saved me from
at least 3 weeks of rebuilding my cross-development environment.
I'd also like to say I'm impressed both with the number of replies and
their quality. I'd get the same number on a Solaris newsgroup, except
that Solaris has more than 2 orders of magnitude more users than NetBSD.
Very cool, keep up the good work :-)

Thanks again

Gerald
