I tried to boot the kernel on the hard disk /boot/kernel/kernel directly from a boot2 prompt on one of the boot floppies by typing ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel, but I got the message BTX halted. This is quickly becoming very frustrating. I thought there was someway to boot the system on the hd from a floppy. the fixit floppy does not contain chflags so I cannot remove the old /kernel file from there, trying to use the chflags from the installed system on the hard disk from the fixit floppy leads to the error message about not finding the ELF interpretor, so that doesnt work. This is even if the old /kernel file is the problem here. I still dont know what the problem is. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
