I take it you get neither of these? Are you using boot0? Seeing as I don't know how to directly check it, after it failed with boot0cfg, I took the disk and initialized it from another machine, a clean 4.1 release install. I'm pretty sure the disk is right now, but it still fails, dark screen after the last bios boot screen (the screen when I would normally see the F1 prompt is totally dark). > Also, I was mistaken abut fdisk -s.

Tonight, I'm going to take it down again, and stick the old 4G disk onto the 29160, see if that boots from the new controller. Sure would like to find out it's a software problem. This one's a bit odd. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@picnic.chuckr.org| electronics, communications, and signal processing.
