Thanks Henning, >From your note, I gather there is an IDE module that if loaded will perhaps discover the existing hard drive. I (like most) prefer to boot from floppy and have most config files in RAM disk. I understand that booting from HD is less secure (don't know why, really).
I am back to Bering 1.2 now, so I find under http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bering/latest/modules/2.4.20/ker nel/fs/ two possibilities vfat.o and umsdos.o I googled for ide modules for 2.4.20 and found (not on any leaf site) Ide-disk, ide-cd, ide-mod and ide-probe-mod.o To use an ide drive for logging, would I need all of these? (BTW, I downloaded the huge leaf-guide-collection of documentation and did a search for hard drive HD, etc. The only information I found was about booting from HD.)

Then you dont need hdsupp.lrp: just get the IDE-Moduls, did you already read the fine manual ? You could place most of the LRPs onto a CD and boot from floppy. I got the same problem: my old notebook does not boot from CD but I use the CD as place for LRP's. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
