Load the Consumer image first to completely wipe the root filesystem?



Bah!
Just apply the latest dev image, it will wipe your displayserver install, but the fids/tunes will be ok. Then reapply displayserver + the ir hack, and you should be off to the races(I have lost count how many times I have done that!).
Tony might suggest the voladj kernel hack, but I havent played with that one yet, though I am debating it.

Have fun!
