If so, we only need to offset the dump if the starting block number of the `b' partition is < 16. I think the computation of the offset must be done at system init time. If my memory serves well, savecore(8) picks the contents of a kernel variable at run-time to determine the starting block of the dump in the dump area. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
