This is exactly what happens after I insert the NFS disk and press enter the spinning slash thingie starts up. Then The following message Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Booting [kernel in xx seconds... it then counts down. I hit any other key for command prompt and it tells me to hit ? for command list and help for detailed help. Help does not work but ? shows me the following commands reboot heap bcachestat boot autoboot help ? show set unset more lsdev include ls load unload lsmod pnpscan disk0s4a:> Thats about it. Nothing that I can determine is an error message. And if I allow it to reboot what I said below takes place. as for the email program I am using you are the first to tell me there is a problem with it....everyone I know uses some sort of wordprocessor like email program that puts CR/LF at the end of paragraphs not lines...lines are autowraped based on window size. I dont know how to chage my email to fit less compatible email clients. sorry Thanks for any help you may provide Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Welk" <mw@theatre.sax.de> To: "Jason" <jasonc@concentric.net> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Thursday, December 16, 1999 4:43 PM Subject: Re: Installing 3.3 from CDROM > On Thu, Dec 16, 1999 at 10:13:04AM -0500, Jason wrote: > > > It goes through more of the above and then states that it will reboot > > automatically in 10 seconds.
