So today has been a terrible day for me with the 2.0 restore CD
the cd worked perfectly
the only thing i had to do was:

    /dev/MAKEDEV panel
   rm /dev/lcd
   ln -s /dev/panel0 /dev/lcd

just because i wanted to be able to echo stuff to the lcd, or use
paneld if i felt like it

then i had an issue when installing bash and setting it to root's shell
a boot to single user mode fixed that

now
after hours of copiling, i have found that some time during my playing
with the lcd panel
i accidently said 
echo "something" > /dev/hda 
instead of 
echo "something" > /dev/lcd

i knew i had screwed up at that time, but i knew that from within
netBSD, the devices are normally refered to as "wd0" or their
driver/what have you name, so i continued on

now i have brought my qube home from work, 
and i get this

Is there any way to fix the mbr? (i am guessing this is the problem)
getting it into another machine is no problem, but I dont know if it
has some sort of special mbr, or what I should do

If it comes down to it, i can always run the restore CD again, but I
would really like to not have to
