You boot with the >boot.flp and then go into repair mode with the fixit.flp. Thanks, Jason. I thought it might be the case that the fixit floppy could be used without modification. That's why I asked the question. I know how to get into repair mode with the fixit floppy. What I don't understand is how I can mount the /var and /usr file systems on /var and /usr (respectively) of the floppy. The first problem is that I don't have the right drivers available (wd0s2e for /var and wd0s2f for /usr). Secondly, I'm a bit concerned about covering up (with the mount) what's already available in the /var and /usr directories on the floppy. If anyone can square me away on these points, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. ... doug _____________________________________________________________________ Doug Jolley mailto://doug@footech.com http://www.footech.com Don't bogart that file, my friend.
