The new problem I have is that after inserting the "key" in various places in loader.rc (including at the end) and trying to load another kernel, I can't break the boot and /kernel is hanging the machine (Neomagic problem). I'll boot on the floppy tonight and try to correct these. I rebooted because the kernel was hanging during compilation of a new kernel... The disk was completely hung but I was able to ^C "make". Everything was froken on disk access till I ^C the build. It is getting weirder... -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- Eurocontrol EEC/TEC -=- Ollivier.Robert@eurocontrol.fr The Postman hits! The Postman hits!
