I'm running FreeBSD 2.1 on a 486/100 with 64 Megs of RAM, 3,8 GB Harddisk and a SCSI CDROM from Toshiba (3701). When I start the system without having a CD in the CDROM drive (or a CD containing no data but e.g.music) something goes wrong: the PATH is inclompete, the BASH (my standard shell) will not be found, the system prompts me to choose an alternative shell (proposes /bin/sh). Off course all my bash envorinment will not work (PS1, alias,...). What is the reason? What has the bash to do with an empty CDROM? Any hints or hints whre I have to look? thx berni -- ------------------------------------------------------ | Berni Ernst - berni@bullet.rhein-neckar.de | | Phone +49 6401 / 2 18 36 | ------------------------------------------------------
