There isn't, as far as I can see, any command line I can tell it to boot a kernel from. I was able to use the GUI to select the SRM console (that much was easy) but I don't know what to do now, and the INSTALL.TXT isn't any help on this. Does anyone who has a PC164 know what I mean, and know what I should do to get this thing booted? ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic and jaunt, both FreeBSD-current.
