I'm a beginner with 2.2.1 and I just reinstalled win95 on the other 500MB of my 1.6GB harddrive, Yes I gave BSD over 1GB, but that is a different story. When I finished the installation my system nolonger found BSD so I had to boot from the floppy and type something to the order of ( 0: wd(o,a) /kernel ) or somthing to that effect at the boot: prompt and it worked. You may wish to try somthing like that or try typing /kernel at the boot prompt. I hope this helped, what ever you do stick with BSD. -- ___________________________________ Jacob A.
