From GENERIC: ----- # # GENERIC -- Generic machine with WD/AHx/NCR/BTx family disks ..... config kernel root on wd0 swap on wd0 and wd1 and sd0 and sd1 and vn0 dumps on wd0 ^^^^^^^^^^^ This needs to be changed to wd1 for this system. You'll need a custom kernel for this box. Maybe one of the user can build you one. Unfortunately, I'm still in mid-upgrade due to my new tape-drive going bad the day after I got it. To hacker folks: Is there anyway we can change this to: config kernel root on boot swap on boot dumps on boot Similar to what Ultrix does? Nate
