Fax: +44 71 477 8587 Did you see my remark on os-bs and codrv some hours ago? Did you try to select 386bsd as default, and let it time out (without pressing any key)? Does 386bsd now boot fine? If so, you found the bug in os-bs, I already mentioned. Otherwise, you might have still a bug in the kernel ;-) Holger -- | | / Dr. Holger Veit | INTERNET: veit@du9ds3.fb9dv.uni-duisburg.de |__| / University of Duisburg | | | / Dept. of Electr.
