What works for me: 1) Select the BSD partition from the boot loader (hit the F[1-4] key) 2) when you see the "booting in 9 secs . . ." message, hit SPACE 3) type: ok unload ok load /kernel.orig ok boot and that should do it. I really haven't seen this well documented, but I figured this out on my own one day so it is the recipe I use. -- Mark Evenson <evenson@panix.com> "A screaming comes across the sky.
