okey! I've had it! enough!

I was installing netbsd 1.3.2 with a 1.2G miniroot.
I had gotten as far  as untar:ing the distribution files (binary) into
/mnt (rootdisk to be). As i am untar:ing the  LAST one (text.tar) , the
system hangs. There is no working fsck in 1.2G miniroot.=20

Am I FOOBAR:ed ?

Do I have to spend another six(!) hours doing everything over again to
*maybe* be able to get everything right?
Can i take the chance of booting again and continuing the install on
unclean disks?

Where do I go from here?


Advice greatly appreciated!
