That's where it is on my System. > Yes, you are correct sir. Actually, on my system, it's /gnu/boot/gnumach.gz. When I un- tarred the gnu tarball onto my /gnu directory from FreeBSD, it created another /gnu directory. I think this may be causing problems with the boot, because I can get as far as entering [boot] and it gets all the way to showing my disk partitioning scheme and then it stops and asks me for my root device. I thought I had already done that step. I enter the device, and then it says something like [cannot find /dev/hd0s1/boot/server.boot]. Aaargh! -- R Joseph Wright
