But the kernel copied to the hard-disk is *NOT* the same as the kernel on the floppy. The kernel on the floppy using a memory file-system, while the one copied to the hard-disk is a GENERIC kernel. If you need, I can make you a non-MFS kernel available which you'll need to hand-copy onto your hard-drive. This might be a bit difficult with the current tools though, unless you know what you are doing. > If I go into the config utility (booting with -c) from the hard disk, I have > no problems in there, but once I go to the login prompt, it doesn't work.

We could build a modified root.flp, but it would require a complete re-install. Nate
