I think it was honey (Honey? You there?) who said recently that she (I 
hope) was able to access the utilities on the recovery partition through 
  the Access IBM key. I meant to ask her about that, and how she had the 
system set up, but didn't get around to it.  I can't access that 
partition through the Access IBM key, and I can't boot from it.
