I executed the |> x386install script which seemed to work, except the 'if grep -s pcprobe /386bsd' Question: what name is your kernel ? Comment: I do not see any sophisticated reason (apart from some stupid "we're being different) for the kernel (and that goes for all derivates of 386bsd, *including* 386bsd) to have any other name than /vmunix. That would have saved a lot of trouble, wouldn't it ? -Bernard
