For many reasons (of the past) we don't want to do that, and i have found no information of how to boot from a floppy. Of cource we didn't even installed it yet. Thanks, Costas J.

The boot manager you must install, yes. Read the install guide for info on creating your boot floppies.

While i have tried everything i could, i red everything i found on the CD \, i'm stuck. After running the installation from the boot floppy, when tried to boot >from our second drive we get the message: boot:.... bad disklabel:can't find /kernel I'm positive that in the 5 times in tried to install, i gave correct assign name and labels. Any help? Thanks, Costas Zividis System Manager Athens Remote Systems, Greece
