Date: Wed, 22 May 1996 07:36:23 -0700 Organization: Interceptor Systems Lines: 19 Message-ID: <31A32667.5D40@vfr.interceptor.com> Reply-To: thumper@vfr.interceptor.com NNTP-Posting-Host: valkyrie.interceptor.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b3 (Win95; I) I had no troubles with the FTP install (a nifty thing!), but now, when I go to start the machine on its own, it boots up with this: Default: F? F! . . . BSD and that's as far as I can get... hitting F1, it just repeats itself, and I can't figure out the magic incantation to boot! :( Please email me as my newsfeed can sometimes be very slow.
