[-- Attachment #1 --] I been at this for some thime now (about 2 weeks) after get everything I needed to boot this sucker up I am at this point. When I place the mfsroot disk in it seem to read it fine for a minute or so, then I get unknown error, then it seem to continue to boot and detect all the hardware, but I get the message to to manually type in the boot device and filesystem. I tried to use this: ufs:/dev/fd0 for the mfsroot disk but it tells me that there is no /sysinstall on it. So I tried to recreate the mfsroot disk? And it seems to not work at all. I tried it by using the steps in the readme(in the floppies dir) on the 4.1 CD. I get lots of error(yes I tried to format 7 different disks). I then tried to use rawrite in DOS and no luck the image would not take. Now since the kernal image took fine this leads me to ask is the a problem with the 4.1 mfsroot.flp image or I'm I really missing something!!!??? Roderick P.
