Try stop-a and boot vmunix -a or boot vmunix -r (I really don't remember about SunOS 4.1.x but this may be somethin like this...). If this cannot work, try change the ID of the new drive... For SunOS 4.1, ID 6 is the CDROM not an HDD (you should modify some internal of the kernel for this...). I this you should try to change the ID to 1, 2 or 3. ID 4 is for a tape and ID 5 for CDROM if my memory is good... /Xavier -- Cybernet Consulting Associates - I.S.P. & Network Design and Consulting Xavier Beaudouin - Network Designer & Consultant - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone/Fax : +33 (0)1 4734 3366 - Cellular : +33 (0)6 6026 5108 Web sites : http://oav.net/ - http://cybernet.fr/ - http://kazar.com/ [---------------------------------------------------------------------] Give your child mental blocks for Christmas. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
