Booting 3.5-BETA5-i386-disc2 in "safe mode" worked, but the system did not seem to see my floppy disk drive and consequently I was unable to copy my dmesg and pciconf output anywhere. With some extra effort, I might be able to transfer the stuff via a hard disk partition. Is there any useful diagnostic information that I might produce for anyone? Dan Strick strick@covad.net P.S. It would be convenient if /mnt2/rescue and such directories were also in the fixit mode search path. It would also be useful if there were man pages available (on the disc2 "live filesystem"). I am not yet familiar with release 5.x quirks and when my system is running one of the 3.5-BETA5-i386 installation systems it can't be running something else from which I could access the 5.x man pages.
