Loo and behold, on booting I got: BTX loader 1.00 (BTX version 1.01) Error Client format not supported Same old, same old. I remembered having had to deal with just this somewhere in the 3.x release series. Alas, forgotten what it was. The disk was, of course, booteable by manual intervention. Still, that isn't, well, tidy. Roelof -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- eboaź (ingenieursburo Office Automation) web. http://eboa.com/ P.O.
