Well, I finally figured it out myself. I did a sort of jury-rig, or a "hack" I guess is what you would call it. I am dying to know a more elegant way to make it work. I think the problem is the result of the rc trying to mount my CD-ROM. It would be nice if it were possible, but that is not my immediate concern. It is an ATAPI CD-ROM, and I assume I will have to make kernel changes to support it. For now, I would be happy deleting a device file or whatever to keep the rc from hitting the cd9660 error. The problem was in my /etc/rc file: mount -a -t nonfs This would produce an error message: cd9660: -o auto: option not supported filesystem mount failed, startup aborted. The line following the error message in the rc file was: exit 1 So my fix was changing it to: echo "let's press on anyway!" Thanks for the help. Keep in mind that I have almost no experience with Unix, and I just figured out what the rc file is this morning. If someone knows of a good book that might say something like, "The /etc/rc file is anologous to DOS's autoexec.bat file.", please let me know! Ken Marsh durang@u.washington.edu
