Okay Mike the new commits worked for the boot loader. To get the elf kernel to work unattended I had to comment out the options DDB and USERCONFIG_BOOT. There's some confusion out there about boot.conf. My /boot.config has the '/boot/loader' in it. I don't even know what the /boot/boot.conf is used for and there should not be a /boot.conf. Will keep fiddling with it, thanks for enabling me to go ELF, all the way. On Sun, Oct 04, 1998 at 02:19:43AM -0700, Mike Smith wrote: > > > > Try other slices, eg: 'ls disk1s1a:'.
