Fortunately, I had a backup of it in /unix.old. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to tell the PROM Monitor to boot from /unix.old instead of /unix. Is it possible to do this? If someone could tell me where in TFM I could find DETAILED information on the monitor, I'd appreciate it. thanks! -- ============================================================================ Steven Ackerman, | EMBA-CF University of Vermont uunet!uvm-gen!ackerman | Burlington, Vermont 05401 Internet: ackerman@uvm-gen.uvm.edu | Telephone: (802) 656-2926
