On another system, I used loadlin and fbsdboot successfully (I select what I wanted in config.sys, I talked out this in the January Linux Journal). On another machine: loadlin works selecting active paritions with fdisk works fbsdboot and booteasy doesn't work Ya got me... If you boot from DOS, 1024 cylinder's isn't a problem (if the kernel is on a dos filesystem). -- marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom
