I'm running 8.2. I can boot from CD or floppy, manually choose my modules, and then choose "boot from installed system" and boot fine from my disk, which is in a Sun D1000 hosted on a sym53c8xx. However- when I try to boot from the bootloader, 0's and 1's fill about half of my screen and the machine freezes. Literally, like: 010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 0101010101010101010101010101010101 Booting off the same JBOD / SCSI card works in Windows. I've tried putting the bootloader in various places. Still doesn't work. Machine is a Penguin Computing dual P111 850 2u box. Not sure about the chipset. Also- is there any way to boot a DP kernel off the CD? Booting the SP kernel there means I can't make use of my second processor, since I can't boot off the HD. -- http://www.4am-media.com Mac OS X Consulting and Training Michael Bartosh mbartosh@4am-media.com 303.517.0272 Denver, CO "The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently." - -- Nietzsche Think Different.
