[CUWiN-Dev] mdprep script on drives with incorrect geometry

I took a look at one of the nodes that I think has the wrong geometry 
flashed onto it, at the house of Jamie Kimberley (505 S Birch). His node was 
demonstrating something that I hadn't noticed in others: dhcpd didn't seem 
to be running. After bootup it just wasn't there. Manually setting an IP and 
SSH'ing in revealed this.

Running the mdprep script Dave sent me a little while ago spit out a couple 
errors (for one, trying to stop dhcpd when it wasn't running) but did seem 
to do its business. Copying a new memorydisk image a rebooting didn't seem 
to do anything, however - the disk image disappeared upon reboot but nothing 
seemed to change. And I'm not sure anything got deleted, because the node 
still functioned in its limping state.

So, in short: this didn't work, but I'm going to try again later. Maybe I 
ran the script incorrectly.
