My machine will boot off wd0 about 95 % the time when in low speed mode. In high speed (33MHz) it boots only about 20% of the time. My equipment: 386-33 Advanced Integration Research motherboard (1 CHIPS & 2 ETEQ VLSIs) Quantum 105lp IDE Trident 8900 vga Novell Ne2000 ethernet I started to poke around in the boot stuff. I put a printf at the begining of boot.c. I rebuilt wdboot and bootwd and then re-disklabeled. I verified that boot.c was not reached when the boot failed. When it succeeded, I saw my debugging message. My 80x06 assembly is a bit rusty, so I hesitated to plunge into wdbootblk.c. Before I do this, I wonder if anyone can give me any possible stategies. Thanks, Greg greg@megas.ecse.rpi.edu
