Hi again: Just as a follow up, on my Ultra AXe, it doesn't make any difference if this is an IDE cdrom or a SCSI cdrom. Also, dd'ing the boot.flp to the front of a hard drive produces the same results: The system hangs on 5.1-RELEASE with no useful messages when "Mounting root from UFS:/dev/md0" Again, the 5.0-RELEASE cd works. Suggestions? Thanks in advance. -p On Thursday, September 25, 2003, at 10:57 AM, peter@larkowski.net wrote: > Hi everyone. > > I have 5.0-RELEASE installed on my sparcengine ultra AXe.
