If only kernel.GENERIC is there, you should try a boot /kernel.GENERIC It's not common that only the gerneric Kernel is there, but perhaps you have deleted the kernel file, or something like that. If you have luck with this, you can: cp /kernel.GENERIC /kernel and the loader should be happy again HTH -- Best regards, Freddy Homepage: fmeerwaldt.homepage.com Last update: 11.03.2000 Very good OpenVMS HowTo's, DHCPD Howto, VXT2k NetBooting HowTo, and a little bit about me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NetBSD Vax, Alpha, i386.

What's went wrong? From the "ok" prompt, I issue "lsdev" and the RAID drive was identified as > disk1s1a (/) and disk1s1e (/usr). Current device is > disk1s1a.
