Is there any way to fix this quickly without a long break, other than swapping the old motherboard back? I do *not* need the boot manager for anything, this machine was installed just when booteasy came in. I just got scared when the thing told me that it is dangerous and unportable to not to use the damn slices (how false that is, *all* the trouble with booting I have had with booteasy!). I can get the machine up as I happened to have boot block on second disk of the machine, and typing sd(0,a)/kernel, but this won't do it automatically, and this machine crashes almost daily. >How-To-Repeat: Swap a plato motherboard to an asus one without changing anything else, when using SCSI disks. >Fix: I assumme I could fix this by copying everything from dd bs=1024k if=rsd0c of=rsd1 where sd1 is a new fresh disk. Or reinstalling. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
