Jack, It's not a matter of the CD itself not being bootable. It's a matter of the SCSI controller it's hooked to not allowing it to boot. If the CD itself isn't bootable, I imagine there would be a lot of people raising hell with Wind River. My main point of contention here is that either the CDs are incorrect, or INSTALL.TXT on the CD is incorrect. sysinstall does not exist in an easily accessible form on the CD, and is REQUIRED to properly upgrade the system if you're using the CDs to perform the upgrade. --- Andy > At 11:16 PM 10.16.2001 -0400, Andrew C.
