My spleen doesn't have hands. Okay I have the FreeBSD cd from cdrom.com. I copied the kcopy stuff to floppy (using rwarite) and tried to boot from it. No go. I get a *slew* of messages like this: Error: C(1) H(1) S(3) (I may be slightly off) After a long while (I had turned my attention to something else and then noticed this) it gave me screenfuls of stuff that looked like a typical Unix startup sequence. Then it panic-ked, I don't recall with what. Finally it rebooted itself and began again with apparently the same sequence. Any suggestions for help would be appreciated. Before anyone askes, I did try this with several of the kcopy disk images, all with the same sort of result. Benjamin Elijah ------ bgriffin@ic.sunysb.edu
