Thank you. I would not have found that in a hurry. In my case. the incorrect soft link was in /target/boot/vmlinuz > vmlinuz-2.2.18pre21 I changed that just before the make boot disk step, and the boot disk step failed again. when I rebooted, I got an error message that 'the file just loaded does not appear to be executable' So I still have something wrong. In the sun system, is there some type of flag on a partition to make it bootable, like in an Intel system? How do I tell if I have it set? I still do not know if I damaged the partition table (or it's equivalent) during my first install attempt. John T
