If so, this has been asked and answered many times. To boot, use: 1:wd(2,a)/kernel at the Boot: prompt. Then one of the following two should work: 1. Have the following line in the kernel config file: config kernel root on wd2 *or* 2. Coment out the wd1 line in the kernel config file, and change the wd2 on its line to wd1 (don't touch anything else). Then replace all references to wd2 in /etc/fstab to refer to wd1. In both cases, after you build and install the new kernel, you should be able to boot with the default options. Nadavhome | help
