I am trying to get the netboot program to work correctly but when I run it on a dos machine, it locks the machine up tight. I have searched the mail database and the news database for a solution but all I found was something about stripped headers from terry. I note that this version is stripped in the the process of building but it still fails. It also shows up like this : root@cscpk # file netboot.com netboot.com: PDP-11 executable not stripped So next check: I logged into freefall and copied the /sys/i386/boot/netboot files to my home and built it there... same thing. branson@freefall.freebsd.org > file netboot.com netboot.com: PDP-11 executable not stripped So I am not sure what is going on here. If someone has some idea I would really appreciate it. The other Dos .com files that I have on my system all show up correctly so I can only assume that this is not getting built correctly. Any Ideas? -branson -- ======================================================================== branson matheson | work: e.b.matheson@larc.nasa.gov CSC SysAdmin | http://longstreet.larc.nasa.gov/~branson (w) 804-864-9700 |all other: ebm@visi.net
