Let me revisit that again.
What I'm confused about is when you'd want to do that short of a hardware
failure or similar. Normally when a bootstrap fails, you back up, fix the
problem and restart from the beginning. That seems the normal operating
mode, so having the other one seemed strange to me and still does.
Thoughts?
