Hi.  I sent this last week and didn't see anyting come across in the way of
response.

****
I'm installing 2.1.6-RELEASE via ftp.

After doing a full install of source plus a handful of packages, I reboot
to SCSI disk (instead of the boot floppy for install) and load the new
kernel - 

	except the new kernel appears to be a copy of the boot.flp!

Reboot to kernel.GENERIC results in the same.  

I can't shell out to csh or anything to build a new shell by hand, and
what's worse is that when the install kernel comes from the drive then the
system mounts read only!  

Any ideas?  Am I missing something painfully obvious??

Thanks in advance.

-David
