Botting from the floppy and then issuing sd(0,a)/kernel brings the machines up but they won't boot for that disk. Anyone recognise the fix for this ? I used the 'search' system on www.freebsd.org but didn't home in on any similar questions/answers. thanks, rob -- Rob Hartill Internet Movie Database (Ltd) (powered by FreeBSD) http://us.imdb.com/tour - bring a packed lunch.. it's big!
