Date: 18 Feb 1994 00:43:02 -0600 Organization: The University of Texas - Austin Lines: 16 Message-ID: <2k1o1m$o0t@sylvester.cc.utexas.edu> References: <BRIAN.94Feb11203909@sun1.claremont.com> <2jo93n$177@inews.intel.com> <UWP.94Feb15143817@vize.cs.tu-berlin.de> <2jvknt$7tf@lucy.ee.und.ac.za> NNTP-Posting-Host: sylvester.cc.utexas.edu I use a boot manager, I think it's called pboot, and it claims to support multiple disks (I see 8 options when it boots). However, I have a 90 MB removable, and it won't even boot MS-DOS from it. It could be because I don't own a "boot ROM" for this disk drive... It's an IOMEGA that a guy with a MAC sold me, and I recall seeing outrageously priced "boot modules" or some such nonsense in a magazine somewhere :-) If you know anything about this, please mail me... However, if you buy Coherent, they have an EXCELLENT boot manager that has default partitions for timeout/unattended boot. Too bad it's such a pain in the butt to install. -- Protect our endangered bandwidth - reply by email. NO BIG SIGS! VaX#n8 vax@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu - Don't blame me if the finger daemon is down
