I couldn't get FBSDBOOT.EXE to run in an OS/2 DOS session. It gave the message: "Could not switch to protected mode." Anyone know of DOS settings that will make it work? I do not have "real" DOS on this (Micro$oft-Free) system. Since that failed, I tried making the BSD boot floppy. That gets as far as the "Boot:" prompt, then, if left alone, apparently looks for sd0, which doesn't exist. I tried to direct it to fd0, it says it can't find /kernel. Since I can't examine the contents of the floppy, I'm lost. I tried: fd(0,a)/kernel and: 0:fd(0,a)/kernel as suggested on-screen, and a couple other things. No luck. What do I have to tell it? I am trying to use the Walnut Creek CD, version 2.2.1 . Carl Brown Whitefield, NH cbsled@moose.ncia.net
