- Hi,
-
- I do not know how I actually did it, but it works. Now the problem
- are gone forever.
-
- The bootup process no longer stucks in the ROM monitor.... It
- boots while displaying the spinning disk only. And it goes all the way to
- loginwindow with CD-ROM drive connected....
-
- Here's what I did:
-
- 1. Re-install 3.0 from CD-ROM.....
- bfd CD-ROM tool to boot from CD-ROM Drive, for old NSC.
-
- 2. re-set parameters in the ROM monitor--- I turn extended
- diagonistic test off and shutdown verbose mode.
-
- g
- P.S. You will lose quite a few thing even if you choose not to erase your
- Hard disk. It took me one day to bring back my SLIP setup and netinfo, as
- well as the userInfo.
