Thanks to all for your advice. I see the difference being # ofpath /dev/sda /bandit/gc/53c94/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: # nvsetenv boot-device /bandit/gc/53c94/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0 vs. # nvsetenv boot-device "$(ofpath /dev/sda)0" is the "" that important? There are, of course, another problem... I do dhcp to get the ip adress, and that works, but when it has gotten its IP adress it stops communicating with the outside world. I have to set the promisc mode and tried changing media 100base2 and 10base2, but that was not it. any suggestions morten -- ---------------------------------- E-Mail: morten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 29-May-2001 Time: 15:23:57 Currently working hard for the LAI at INSA-lyon ----------------------------------
