I'm resending this - it didn't seem to go through. Apologies if
you get this twice.

Hi -

I'm having two basic questions that I'm embarrassed to admit I can't
figure them out.

The first one is with Boot Easy. I'm running 2.2.6 with 1 IDE drive
formatted FAT with 98 and NT on it, and a SCSI disk (Adaptec 2940AU)
at ID 2 with FreeBSD on it. I can boot off the boot floppy and specify
"sd(1,a)/kernel" to boot.  The boot loader on the IDE drive, however,
results in the "F1 - DOS F2 - ?" bit. I know I've seen this go by on the
lists before, but couldn't find anything in the archives.

My second question is with user mode PPP and slirp. I can manually
connect by dropping into term mode, dialing and logging in, but the
hitch is the PPP can't seem to detect when to enter packet mode, so
I have to ~p to tell it when. I suspect this is a problem with slirp,
but was wondering if anyone had seen this. Also, using the

	set ifaddr 127.1.1.1/0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0

style line doesn't work - I need to specify the server's address
explicitly, which I won't know ahead of time. If I don't provide the
exact server address, "add 0 0 HISADDR" fails.

Anyone have any clues on either of these?

Thanks.
