Something VERY BAD has happened. When I attempted to format the disk, with mkfs.ext3, it reported that the partition table for that partition said 0 size, and I should reboot the computer to re-read the partion table. When I rebooted, instead of LILO, I saw an endless stream of "01 " repeating without end! I can boot into BIOS, and probably an emergency disk, but that is all.
