Mikkel,
Thank you. One thing that I did find was that I was able to boot from the floppy and
get into the machine as Root. All my files are there and things that I had left on
the desktop is still in the place that it was left. I did still need to boot off the
floppy to get in. So I am not booting off the drive.(hard) This boot resume floppy is
what it is running off.
Does that change anything that you would know at this point? I am going to run the
command that you told me about. It is something that can be via telnet.
Do you know of any issue with Intel MB running dual 400 Hz?
Steven
