(Sigh.)

I upgraded my slab yesterday and I am having a few problems.

First a word of advice: when you do the upgrade, and the
Upgrade_3.0.app gets to the point where it says "running
postprocessing script", DON'T TOUCH WORKSPACE!

I inadvertently did so and hung the machine pretty bad.
(I had to "mon" out from the nmi monitor - halt wouldn't work.)

Now my UpradeLog is missing some stuff. I have everything up to and
including the line:
> Upgrade complete at Mon Sep 14 14:20:04 1992

but am missing this:
(taken from another machine's UpgradeLog)
> Updating NetInfo database local.nidb:
>     Updating user accounts...18 accounts
>     Creating /locations/renderers...
>     Updating /rpcs...
>     Removing decode alias...
>     Creating /localconfig...
> NetInfo changes complete. Checking sizes for languages...

I have noticed some odd behavior. For example, my print panels don't
include the LocalPrinter hooked up to my NeXT anymore
(although nppower still works).

So, is there anyway I can run the postprocessing script without
actually restarting the upgrade? I tried to peek inside
Upgrade_3.0.app to see if I could find the "script" but didn't
find it.

If I can't do this, I'll have to start over by first restoring
my drive to 2.1 from my backup and redo the entire upgrade.
A rather unpleasant proposition...

Help!
