-       DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REBUILD THE BOOT BLOCKS.  There is currently
-       a problem in that the boot block code has grown and if you build
-       it with the new version of as and install them you will NOT BE

-       The boot block binaries shipped with the 1.1 BETA release were

+fsck:
+       fsck can go into an endless loop in the repair/fsck cycle on
+       a corrupted filesystem. The message "VALUES IN SUPER BLOCK
+       DISAGREE WITH THOSE IN FIRST ALTERNATE" is very misleading.
+       fsck compares the superblock with the alternate in the last

+       "UPDATE STANDARD SUPERBLOCK" with yes and get always the same
