A tip for the future:
Assuming you have an Iyonix CD or a backup of the !Boot structure as
originally provided, rename your current !Boot temporarily, then copy
the factory original into its place. Then reboot. That gives a known
clean system setup with minimal effort.
The various Iyonix system updates do muddy the picture slightly - so
the next stage of refinement is to have another !Boot which has
had all the various Iyonix updates - but nothing else - applied.
I have a directory on my system called Factory which contains everything
exactly as supplied from Castle. In practice I've rarely ever needed to dig
anything out of it, but it's nice to have it there. And if I did encounter a
hard-to-reproduce bug I might find it invaluable.
