Well, certainly outsmarted myself there. After installing BootEasy, I get an endless F? prompt no matter which function key I depress. Well and good; I can boot with the boot floppy. I am vulnerable to unattended reboots, however. I am interested in finding a solution, short of repartitioning, for this installation gaff. One thing that comes to mind is that if I could change the default on the boot floppy, I would be molified. How would I do that (lacking the presumed dos compilers/assemblers/linkers needed to rebuild it)? Any other ideas that come to mind would be appreciated. relevent info: INTEL Tuscon motherboard Adaptec 2940 UW scsi SDT7000 tape Toshiba 16x scsi cdrom ---------------------------------- E-Mail: ron@cts.com Date: 09/11/97 Time: 15:34:23 This message was sent by XF-Mail ----------------------------------
