You didn't say *where* it freezes. I had a problem with the bootstrapper on my HP Vectra. My temporary solution (since I really didn't feel like debugging it) was to make a kernel with `root on wd0a', and without the code to automatically change the root device, and just boot off floppy. Later on, I installed Julian's boot blocks, and everything works fine. -- \ / Charles Hannum, mycroft@ai.mit.edu /\ \ PGP public key available on request. MIME, AMS, NextMail accepted.
