It's possible that the POSIX root business and related mount points are 
what you tripped over.  If you figure out how those things work, please 
explain them to me :-).  I don't know if "SET NOROOT" or "SET ROOT NL:" 
might've prevented the disaster, but they'd be worth a try.  Or umnt on 
whatever mount points were aimed at your system disk, if any.
