Nemmine. A find -exec grep -i isofs of the source tree pointed me to the mount_isofs command (not normaly installed). That, and mounting /dev/as0d instead of as0a did the trick. Bout 100 times faster than mounting under OS/2 and days faster than SOSS. Gonna stick 386bsd on a spare 386sx with a small IDE drive (translation geometry? Ha! no such problems) and the SCSI CDROM. Now will be a permanent part of chinet. Ghod, but puters are fun! Bring on the 386bsd source on ROM! -- I am created Shiva the Destroyer; Death, the shatterer of worlds! Who is this dog meat who stands before me now? That's the biz, sweetheart. Randy Suess randy@chinet.chi.il.us
