Hi,

I've got this strange problem that I don't know what is causing it.

I've created 3 floppy disks (1 boot disk, and 2 ram disks) and I am
choosing an FTP install (I have the CDROM mounted on another machine
that I FTP the files from).

The problem is, that when the install program copies the kernal from the
boot disk to the Harddrive, it complains saying it can't find the
command rdev. I've looked at the installation image (by switching to
another console to get the prompt) and can't find the rdev command.

It was working before with the SAME install disks, and SAME boot image.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Cheers,
Phil Howlett.
