Thanks Paul and Harmon I got a straight rs232 serial cable some time back, only to find I've no longer got any machines with an rs232 serial port...
I strongly suspect I stuffed up something in formatting/set-up of my CF card as I seem to have LAB up and running an apparently not finding anything to boot... One thing I've wondered is, does the CF card need a MBR written to it? Or, is that taken care of by the inclusion of this: copy fs:/mnt/boot/zImage fs:/zImage umount /mnt armboot fs:/zImage "root=/dev/hda1 rootdelay=5" at /boot/labrun ? Regards, Morgan.
