Alright, sorry about that. The CURRENTness is a world from a few days ago, and a kernel from 7/22/98; I don't know exactly what "options" you're referring to, but the only non-normal-and-possibly-unstable things in my kernel are: options "VM86" options SOFTUPDATES I'm pretty sure the problem wasn't with SoftUpdates... the specific conditions were bochs, an i386 emulator, installing DOS on the drive (/home/green/msdos.drv), which uses nothing special, system-wise, and doscmd, trying to boot the drive at the same time, which uses the VM86 system to run. Let me know what else you want to know. Cheers, Brian Feldman green@unixhelp.org On Thu, 23 Jul 1998, Mike Smith wrote: > > Yessiree, doscmd has ways of locking me up without a panic.
