However the directions that were given in a previous mail about the steps required are enough to get it working but lack in some things (which I unfortunately have no idea about how to fix, yet). 1) I have the /boot.config file but the loader complains about /boot/boot.config, so should boot.config not be in /boot? 2) after the bootloader continues to load I get a warning that my kernel's symbol table doesn't match. I didn't have this problem before the new blocks. 3) I also got a complaint from the loader about another missing config file which I can't remember the name from. Looking through boot(8) reveals /boot.config, so why does the loader complain about /boot/boot.config? Also, it's hard to review how the boot process went because nothing gets logged in /var/log/messages. Any hints, tips or other RTFM stuff greatly appreciated =) Oh btw, make world also installs bootstraps and such, does it leave the new bootblocks alone or do I have to add a flag to my make worlds ? regards, --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven Life is the only Pain asmodai(at)wxs.nl we endeavour...
