comment Debian doesn't boot anymore
Can he run sudo blkid -c /dev/null using the System Rescue CD to see what the UUIDs of his devices are? Could his expansion changed the UUID of the partition?

FYI, I needed to use sudo to run lsof to get output on my Raspberry Pi (Raspbian/Debian Linux).

comment How to permanently connect to WPA2AES wifi with OpenBSD (through cli)
Here's an example from Wikipedia that shows an interface that has associated with the access point ieee80211: nwid ARK chan 11 bssid 00:0d:0b:ed:84:fb 100dBm, does yours show that? It would be very helpful if you could post what ifconfig returns for you.

I'm surprised that ifconfig ath0 nwid SSID wpakey SSIDPWD didn't work. After you run this command, if you just enter ifconfig what is displayed? Do you get an IP address or any 802.11 information? Can you safely post what is displayed for that command here?
