Thereafter, I did a post-installation install of the kernel source, again using the CD-ROM. That tells me that /stand/sysinstall is not having any trouble mounting the CD-ROM. However, I can't seem to mount the CD-ROM manually. Commands like: mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/mcd0a /cdrom Give me a "Device not configured" error. Obviously I must be doing something wrong in light of the success of /stand/sysinstall. If anyone could tell me what it is, I'd appreciate it. Thanks very much. ... doug _____________________________________________________________________ Doug Jolley mailto://doug@bigwheel.net http://www.bigwheel.net Don't bogart that file, my friend.
