John, I tried but had a couple of problems. First, after the 'make all' there was no boot2 file in the /sys/boot/i386/boot2 directory. boot2.c was there along with bbot2.c.orig, but no output from the make all. Also, the suggestion to boot from CD if it fails is probably not a good one. :-) R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
