Question: when I first booted, it just sat there at the Hit [enter] to boot immediately or .... prompt. At this point my /boot/boot.conf file was empty. I had to put a "boot /kernel.aout" into the /boot/boot.conf file. My boot.conf file now is: set autoboot=5 boot /kernel.aout Now it boots immediately without waiting the 5 seconds. Without the "boot /kernel.aout" line, it just sits at the "Hit [enter]..." prompt. Is there an intermediate solution where it will wait 5 seconds before autobooting kernel.aout? Viren -- Viren R.
