It did not allow log-ons so I was forced to reboot. At boot it said: loading /boot ... Then stopped. I was able to boot using floppies but when I attempted to mount the hard drive I get: device not configured The disksetup utility also gives the same error. I have a current backup of the system but I get "device not configured" when I try to use restore -i. (Then again there is nothing to restore to if I cannot mount the hard drive.) Any suggestions?
