The boot process spit the following out after the config screen: panic: bounce memory out of range Automatic reboot in 15 seconds: Press any key on the console to abort I removed all but 256Meg and the machine booted ok, and I then removed options BOUNCE_BUFFERS and it now boots just fine... Question: I seem to remember an npx0 flag that could set the amount of usable memory in the system that can only be used in cli mode... But, I can't find any reference to it in the doc or the code... Anyone got a pointer? Thanks, John -- jwd@unx.sas.com (w) John W. De Boskey (919) 677-8000 x6915
