I dunno, maybe IBM slipped a new boot manager into later shipments, but the boot manager I have doesn't grok 386bsd very well at all. Should I get on my soapbox about how I think 386bsd (0.2) ought to work? Or will I (and all the rest of the 386bsd user community) be "punished" because I exercised my right to freedom of speech? I kid you not, punished is exactly the word that was used that last time I suggested that there might be a better way. Anyway, it's been hinted that 386bsd 0.2 will be much friendlier about sharing the disk that it resides on. -- Kaleb Keithley kaleb@devvax.jpl.nasa.gov
