That seems odd, but, in any case, the beastie menu is called from /boot/loader.rc. The last two executable lines should be: include /boot/beastie.4th beastie.start That should do it unless something is wrong with /boot/beastie.4th. You might want to make sure that it matches what is in CVS. It should be 7007 bytes long and the md5 should be c6c84ce32045f1d9d34a46a78dcda61c. I list updated my sources a couple of days ago, do it's possible that something has changed since then. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
