That's consistent with what I've found so far. I can boot the box into single user mode but it'll hang trying to initialize inetd if I try a normal boot. The network is broken when I do get the box up so I'm guessing that that's where the problem lies. I've gotten the /proc and / filesystems in /etc/fstab and they mount without a problem and look OK. I am a little unsure as to how to get the swap partition activated. I can't find where swapon is called in the init scripts but I'll try putting an entry in /etc/fstab for it and see what happens. later, Andy
