miBoot is what's used on the Debian rescue/install floppies. So you could replace the kernel on one of those, using the Replacing Kernel on the Rescue Floppy install manual instructions, to give it a try. (If that works, you could then change the boot parameters on the floppy to boot your system instead of the ramdisk installer - and you'd always have to use the floppy to boot with.) Otherwise you can download System 7.5.3 from apple.com. -- *----------------------------------------------------------------* | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | To HAVE, GIVE all TO all (ACIM) | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
