After booting BOOT1, I am unable to respond to the "Root device?" prompt. The entire system is locked up, the keyboard is dead, the Ctrl-Alt-Del key in ineffective and I have no choice but to re-boot via reset/power switch. If you have experienced this and cured it, please drop me an E-mail note since we are mostly going to be closed for over a week and my new feeder will expire any news replies before I return. Thanks for your attention to my problem. -- Bob Stearns University of Georgia is@groucho.dev.uga.edu (404)542-5110
