Ok.  Reinstalling sounds like a several days of work procedure to get
all configuration back the way it should be (BTW, what happens with
ZFS pools in a reinstallation?  Are they automatically detected by the
newly installed system?), so I guess I'll stick to BFU for the time being then.

X is irrelevant, this is a server machine.  It seems manpages don't get
updated either, correct?  Even though I have new features in the
commands, they are not documented.

Discussing what BFU is and isn't doesn't seem constructive at this point.
Of course, if you can lend me a time machine so that I can take a DVD
of b105 back in time a couple of months and get crossbow from that,
it would be just dandy.  :-)

Anyway, thanks for replying.
