I was looking at one of the Dr. Dobbs articles by Bill and Lynne, and I saw the comment that bootup needs the kernel, init, /dev/console, and sh. I checked out those files and then remembered that I had tried linking sh to bash. I removed that link with the fixit disk and everything now boots fine. So the moral of this should be that if you don't know what all the results will be, don't fool with it, or face the consequences. -- Carl Johnson carlj@cv.hp.com
