I performed an upgrade via nfs using the 2.1.7 bootdisk. Now when I attempt to boot with the floppy and enter "wd(1,a)/kernel" or any kernel image on wd1 I get an "invalid format" error... does anyone know why and how to fix it? thanks _______________________________________________ Adam Migus amigus@morgan.ucs.mun.ca CG, Dept. of Computing and Communications Memorial University of Newfoundland
