Thanks, iggimi, but I don't seem able to mount the root partition. Even if I could, and could solve the ERR issue, the system still wouldn't complete the boot - this was the original difficulty. Hence the decision to reinstall. A bit drastic, I know...
Can you kindly confirm that if I don't actually mount /home (i.e leave this at "none" in disklabel) it should not be overwritten? I think this is what the FAQ says but I'm not sure.
