aaaarrrrggghhh
dunno what I did, but late last night I hosed up the system. Last thing I did was the MPTS update and now the system won't boot.
At least the install takes less than 6 minutes now.
I've been taking (lots of)notes and will give a full report once I've got everything going again. Short summary - nice but confusing.

no message, hard lock
doesn't even respond to C-A-D.
I already wiped the drive and reinstalled before I went to bed. I'm going to install the updates tonight to see if I can recreate the problem.

Did you get to the boot blob? Alt-F2 can also be very handy.

sure did
I did the reinstall w/out thinking about alt-F2, that's what I get for staying up too late and working on the computer when I should have been in bed.
I used alt-F2 last week when trying to figure out the problems with the new motherboard's built-in NIC.
