Thank you thank you thank you, that's exactly what I needed. It is fairly easy to do in Alpha. Normally you boot the installer system with a: show device (shows you the SRM notation for your devices...I always forget what my CDROM is....) boot dkb0 -flags 0 The -flags 0 part passes 0 to aboot, which then loads precinfigured image 0. If you drop the flags, you'll find yourself at a aboot prompt where you can hit l to show the preconfigured images, hit b 1/<insert kernel stuff here>, and hit enter. If that all sounds confusing, you're right. Welcome to the world of alphas. :) Andrew S.
