It just gives the wrong error-message. I had the same problem - booting from CD usually lets you apply boot0cfg. But my real problem is that I can only boot the PC from the SuSE 9.2 CD ! (2*120GB as RAID1). When I boot from the array, I get a kind of endless loop of pre-boot panic or just an endless beep at the F1-promt, depending if I have booteasy or not. When I boot from the SuSE9.2 CD, it will recognize that I have a Unix-OS already installed and boot from HD as default. That always works. I have 3 identical PCs with this problem. cheers, Rainer
