We actually boot off a much smaller (2GB) drive with a translated geometry of 2MB/cyl. This works fine. The other drives can be hand-newfs'd without any trouble since you're up and running at that point and can run newfs easily. At boot time, there isn't even a shell to facilitate this (no room!). I don't remember what kind of CDROM you have - can you refresh my memory? Jordan
