- You did't have him put the directory called /NextCD on your disk did you?
-
- In the recent issue of NeXTwatch (nextwatch@skylee.com), p. 3, they say
- that you should NOT, EVER EVER EVER EVER create a directory on your hard
- disk called /NextCD because the /etc/rc.boot file will think the hard disk
- is a CD-ROM and mount it read-only. As of late, there is no easy way to
- fix this problem. (I didn't quote the article exactly because I'm
- paranoid of copyright laws :-))
-
- Sorry you've had so much troubles.
