fw_printenv was not in my path.  I had to add /usr/sbin/

I also could not get scp working, and had to mount a usb drive to 
capture my work.  I DID ssh into the system.

/sbin/reboot  Again not in my path.

I rebooted and am still in the pogo linux bash.

One thing I noticed different in your picture than mine, I have the 
fedora usb drive in the back top USB port.  I did this as a 'safer' 
location for it, as well as allowing me to use the front port easily if 
needed for a drive.  Does this impact line 17 or 22 of your history 
output?  If so, you need to tell in your notes which USB port to place 
the drive in!
