- [deletia of some more stuff...]
-
- Ok, funny to be following up to my own message, but here goes.
- It seems that I've solved my own problem. I performed an 'fdisk'
- on my harddrive using the root/bootdisk combo, and then tried it
- again. Presto. It worked. :)
-
- However, I went and re-FTP'd the SLS stuff from tsx-11. However, even with
- the new copies, I had to 'fdisk' first. Go firgure.
-
- Just a little update.
-
- Later,
- "Crusher" Joe.
