I think my problem is finind a correct boot image. The only image I can find either on systems that need upgrading or via cvs /boot/cdboot is 1184 bytes. Shouldn't this be 1200 bytes? I have made a CD using the 4.X /boot/cdboot and one using a later version that is 1200 bytes. Neither works. My question: is the 1184 byte boot image okay? thanks for any thoughts DougD
