- My guess (And I'm fairly sure about this) is that the problem is with the
- system-configuration (?) file. I had the same problem when I installed
- one of those boot-show_me_something_cool thingies, it altered the system
- configuration file to get a black screen.
-
- What you have to do is to copy the system configuration file from your
- Workbench disk (I think its in DEVS: or was it L:) and your problem is
- solved. :)
-
- Good Luck :)
