My Indy has seen the light ;-). The kernel boots and goes it's way through the device checking. All disk's are recognized and the mount-request for the root-file-system is send to the server. The (root)-dir is mounted from the Indy. (I can see this in the server-log) Then the prom-memory is freed and the last thing I see is: freeing unused kernel memory 52k Then nothing happens anymore. I think the next thing to come should be the 'init' process (init doesn't need to be an ECOFF - exec ?). Or do I nedd a modified init to jump into setup? partial sucess, Tom
