(I've had no problem with other systems). I load the kernel, but I panic afterwards (this happened on different machines over the last year). The solution I've found is to make a small slice on the first disk, boot that, and have a larger slice on the second disk... (with system commander, booting has been no problem, mounting root confused things). -- marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com The Feynman problem solving Algorithm 1) Write down the problem 2) Think real hard 3) Write down the answer Murray Gel-mann in the NY Times
