Yeah, I'm screwed.

After using the drive utility to remake the filesystem (and run a cool burn-in utility..)
I reloaded the 2.00b11 image on, and went to sync. There were no errors, but about 75% of the way thru sync'in (of a total 1230 files, about 6Gb) the empeg rebooted itself. Of course, I did NOT have a windo opem so I missed any error messages, but now, it's stuck rebooting itself:

After the last line, it waits about.. 40 seconds, and repeats the process. I could do the drive imager again, if anyone thinks that'll help..
I'm curious how a broken network connection could do this much damage...!
