David Rodgers) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: shutdown -todos??? Date: 21 Apr 1994 23:29:06 GMT Organization: Comp Sci, RMIT, Melbourne, Australia Lines: 29 Distribution: global Message-ID: <2p7282$omt@goanna.cs.rmit.oz.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: yallara.cs.rmit.oz.au NNTP-Posting-User: s9407356 I am new to 386BSD, having just installed 386BSD release 0.1. Everything appears to work fine, except for the shutdown command to active my dos partition. Example: Using the command ./shutdown -todos (in the /usr/distbin directory) results in the message "Can't make dos bootable". As I use dos and UNIX fairly equally, this problem is very annoying (to say the least!). Can anyone offer some advice as to what the problem might be, and/or some suggestions on how to get around it.
