I believe that you can setup the kernel so that the console messages are redirected to a printer (even parallel port printers). This method would be a little bit better than writing the info and typing it back into an e-mail. If beneficial, I could also fax the output to interested parties. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the console could be redirected to a floppy (This could have just been a suggestion though or a non-mainstream patch). > I don't think I can load the driver as module since I need SCSI to boot my > system - am I wrong?

My CDROM drive is internal, so I have to physically disconnect the SCSI cable before I boot into Linux and reattach when I boot into DOS to access a CDROM (Currently, the only reason I ever boot into DOS is to copy files off of the CDROM so I can access them from Linux) -Jim Shepherd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
