Well, it certainly got *my* attention.  :)

Neither do I, but the powers-that-be may want to take a look around.
Although I don't have a shell history, the exact string of commands that I
executed would be:

  <boot to single-user>
  tcsh
  mount -o rw /
  vinum start
  mount -a
  cd /usr/src
  make installworld
  mergemaster
  shutdown -r now
