How can I get the OS to boot?
OK, you've done this backwards: the a partition is traditionally used for / and b for swap. You should be able to boot by telling the kernel to boot from the b partition though: da(0,b)/boot/loader See the boot manpage once you've booted to see how to make the change permanent. Kris
