Hmmm, oh well. At least the alternative method worked.
Anyways, after using preferences to be able to boot from the superduper backup drive, I was able to use my superduper backups from last night to restore my internal OS drive and external firewire drive (with my home directory) from the superduper backups...
...and everything worked fine!
I guess my SuperDuper purchase was a good investment!
The original problem was that my Mac hung during a software upgrade, and after forcefully rebooting to get out of that, all my preferences/personalization, like icons I added to the Dock, seemed to be lost!
One lesson learned: only do software upgrade right after you've done a SuperDuper backup of your system!!! (In this case it was more an accident than a plan that I did it this way
)
