Good. It's NewWorld, and you aren't stuck using BootX if you don't want. > > Also, I wouldn't be so quick to assume that the Mac can't boot from its > > external floppy.

If you reboot the machine while there's a floppy in the drive, does the disk get ejected? If so, you should be able to insert it early on in the boot process (like before the happy Mac icon comes up) and boot from it. What boot disk are you using? It can't be the plain rescue disk; it must be the hfs boot disk. Also, you maybe be able to specify which disk to boot from in Open Firmware (Ctrl+Option+o+f at boot, I think. I may have the modifiers wrong though). noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
