Upgrade to Debian testing hosed my system

[Mike Ballon]

If there is no signal to the monitor with the box "up" I would reboot it.

If it is you can boot into single user mode and try to figure out what's
going on with the box. If you do not get the boot loader now we're talking
about a repair to either the loader or the system as a whole using a disc
or memory stick.
