How can I fix the mbr or whatever is at the beginning so bios will run the boot strapper? Also, with the boot loader, I have one drive on at SCSI ID 1, the boot loader will force me to type sd(0,a)/kernel (from floppy). It'll load it up okay, but then it will say cannot mount route device /dev/sd0a. I have fixed tSCSI ID 1 to be sd1 in the kernel config. Steven
