I definitely have to reboot installing my alphas. I don't know if I had to reboot the machine with the arc-colsole, but for shure the machines with the srm-conole (fortunytely I have to install very seldom my own machines, thanx, Linus! ;-) This has something to do that the SRM-cosoles need partitions with BSD-Labels (what ever this is). I hate installing my alphas - installation is easy, but making these beasts boot is painful. But thats another story... martin
