Typing "boot > -v" does not reveal anything more. One thing that can get you is if you have customized "/boot/loader.rc" in the past. The make install for the bootloader won't replace this file if one is already present. I had a very old one I had hacked up, and it didn't do the same things as the standard version. I saw the same symptoms you're describing. I deleted my old loader.rc, reinstalled the bootloader, and then everything worked. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
