I may have found a way to recover from the dreaded BIOS faux pax. I too set my Hardware revision to 4.0.0 and did not back it down before a reboot so I faced the dreaded rapidly blinking system light last night. briefly, I cloned one of my old drives that had a lower revision of the system, put it in this afternoon, powered up and I now have access to my server again. Over the next few days I will do some testing and come up with some more concrete information so we can all work on this solution. I am waiting eagerly to hear how some of you are imaging the system partition so I can image the system on my drives with the older SnapOS and work with that so we can have a resource online.

In the meantime, I think I am going to start working toward a big file server box just for the heck of it, but that is off topic.

I'll do the best I can between the family, studies, and work to stay in touch.
