The problem was too much RAM! Don't see how I missed it in the archives, Sorry. I pulled my 128 MB card and booted the floppies. It worked! I don't have the CD available at the moment, so I can't try to actually install the software (and I can't install over the network since I have a Xircom card which is not supported). Maybe I'll have time to install the full system tomorrow and rebuild the kernel with the new MAXMEM. Sine I have 192 MB, I'm guessing that I'll need to adjust the suggested value up a bit. First time I've ever had a problem with too much memory! The fast response is greatly appreciated. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
