Chris, Before you copy your kernel to disk, you can run the rdev command to set the root filesystem. For example, rdev bzImage /dev/hdb1 If you run rdev bzImage (with no options) it tells you what root filesystem is currently assigned. Then you stick a formatted floppy in your drive and type: cp bzImage /dev/fd0 73, Chris w1gm at sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
