After much fiddling around, I decided to newfs the filesystem and restore it. I think I have it all restored now; but, now it won't complete the boot process. It hangs near the end at a line that reads: npx0: INT 16 interface When I try to boot using a boot floppy and either my custom or the generic kernel on the hard drive, it hangs at the same point. That seems to support my thought that there is something wrong with the root file system on the hard drive; but, I have no idea what it might be. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd really appreciate hearing them. Thanks for any input. ... doug _____________________________________________________________________ Doug Jolley mailto://doug@footech.com http://www.footech.com Don't bogart that file, my friend.
