Peter.
There's a recovery !Boot on your
SDFS::System.$.Recovery.DiskImage.!Boot
(Andrew - Still haven't finished building ARMX6s so not quite able to wind
down yet!)
What Bernard says above is a great place to start - it appears as :1 on
your iconbar.
Also, many [most] ARMX6s shipped with 64 or 128Gb of backup storage which
appears as :0 on the iconbar. This may well have a more recent backup
etc, although it depends if you're using it to keep current !Boot backups
as recommended or not, I suppose.
Anyway, between the two, you should be able to piece together enough of a
!Boot to get back up and running, and online with network etc. That's the
intention, anyway. :)
Many thanks, everyone, for your advice, and I still feel a little
guilty that Andrew has replied! I now have a partly working machine,
but I get lots of error messages at start-up, and some apps still
don't work. I have a feeling that I'm going to have to tussle with
!Reporter soon, which I confess I find a bit frightening :-)
One piece of advice - before installing Reporter, make a backup copy
of !Boot. When you have finished with Reporter, rename !Boot and copy
back the backup. That way you don't end up with a !boot cluttered up
with the remains of Reporter.
