[j-nsp] M7i hard disk hint needed

[Sean Clarke]

Hi Alexander,

  You can try and do what it suggests - run FSCK on the harddisk

  If that's not possible, try rebuilding from an external PCMCIA card,
  sometimes you can recover the disk this way.

  Not really feasible to run without a harddisk - theoretically
  possible, but you need to turn off all logging, maybe you are lucky
  and it runs for a while

Cheers
Sean
