yes, i booted off my u.s.b disk, reformatted my root partition, and
re-installed.

i removed /etc/.pwd.lock, as well as /etc/group.lock, and the reboot
tries to enter the guile prompt ("Entering new prompt ...") and i get a
kernel panic.
just f.y.i, i can't use shift-page.up to scrollback through the boot
messages.
