Whoever would've thougt to look *there* . I pasted your "archsw.readin.failed" and got 30 odd hits. Must've mistyped or something. Thanks. But alas, as a matter of fact I did make world. But like that. So maybe I oughta to've used the new spelling? I'm currently doing a "make buildworld" to see if that helps things. Must say that text isn't all too clear. E.g. what is the second stage and does not the | that shows up get replaced by other chars to simulate a whirling action? What does it mean to directly specify the kernel? Is it saying "boot kernel" as if to boot any other non-default kernel and would that really result in a different loading process? Roelof -- Home is where the (@) http://eboa.com/ is.
