I just spent a frustrating weekend installing 1.3 on a hard drive
(2090 and Miniscribe).  I set up a 2.5 MB "slow" partition for
Bridgeboard things.  I have the SMART software which is what we
use at work.  It takes about 20 minutes to install SMART on the
IBM partition.  When I would reboot the bridgeboard, the files
would be trashed.  Eventually way in the back of my brain a light
came on.  I remembered a remark someone once made about Jlink...
If you don't properly close the link the files will be trashed.
He said this is not documented in the bridgeboard book, I
couldn't find it in there either.  So....  if you close the link,
like "JLINK C: /U" before you exit, better luck.
