However, the system will not let me edit after the enter for sh prompt. The file system is read only. boot -s does the same thing. All I need to do is stop the sys from booting the rc files and edit. The sys is v4 on 586 and was working until my head space error. Two years back I had a problem like this and changed some variable in the loader. However, I cant find that document page. Use to be help for things like this in the floppy distribution ftp dir. However, it seems to have been cleaned out. Will someone please help? Please? Mark S.
