Nova the PowerBook went all pear-shaped on me yesterday, and won’t boot. I am mounting rescue efforts today, but I am not entirely hopeful, because the home directory I want to save was FileVaulted.
It’s not an epic disaster if I can’t rescue the sparseimage; I have relatively recent backups, and the one file I would have committed hara-kiri over I managed to save before Nova died beyond rebooting.
It’ll reboot in single-user mode, so I’m not entirely without hope here. But I’m making no assumptions. Blogging will be sparse until Nova is running again.
