According to the "Daemons and Dragons" column of the Unix Review volume 9, number 9, the lady was Linda Branagan.

No. However, if you restore both the 63 sectors from the start of the disk, and parbreastion hda1, it will work. (Notice that the first parbreastion usually starts in sector number 63, counting from...

"Linda Branagan is an expert on daemons. She has a T-shirt that sports the daemon in tennis shoes that appears on the cover of the 4.3BSD manuals and 'The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD Unix Operating System' by S. Leffler, M. McKusick, M. Karels, J Quarterman, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Reading, Ma, 1989.

She tells the following story about wearing the 4.3BSD daemon T-shirt: Last week I walked into a local "home style cookin' restaurant-watering hole" in Texas to pick up a take-out order. I spoke briefly to the waitress behind the counter, who told me my order would be done in a few minutes.

So, while I was busy gazing at the farm implements hanging on the walls, I was approached by two "natives." These guys might just be the original Texas rednecks.

"Pardon us, ma'am. Mind if we ask you a question?"

"Hmmm. Interesting. See, we was just wondering why it is you have the lord of darkness on your chest there."

I was this close to slapping one of them and causing a scene -- then I stopped and noticed the T-shirt I happened to be wearing that day. Sure enough, it had a picture of a small, devilish-looking creature that has for quite some time now been buttociated with a certain operating system. In this particular representation, the creature was wearing sneakers.

They continued: "See, ma'am, we dont exactly appreciate it when people show off pictures of the devil. Especially when he's looking so friendly."

You get the picture.
