Many thanks for this Brian, It's made me see that I was at fault by not simply making a /boot slice to avoid the misplacement of the boot files. I've obviously been using grub/x86 for too long. I'd still rather install over the network but that's a different problem. At least I can now execute a perfect install from a CDROM. However, on first boot: "Fast Data Access MMU Miss" It never rains, but pours... Back to x86 and grub I think. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Does exactly what it says on the tin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
