Except when I manage to lock out the shell, have the display off, and can't do squat except reboot with the disks RW.

Does hijack try to make the drives ro before rebooting? If so, I'll have to kick the display out of standby so I can use Hijack to reboot when it happens.

So far, I have a hijack kernel compiled with ReiserFS enabled, and the tools compiled and ready to go. Right now I am just copying the music to the drive I don't intend to format yet, then its on with the conversion.
