OK. I'm really confused. I have a NeXTstation with an internal 400 Mb. drive from which the system boots. I have two external 1.2 Gb. drives. Let's say I power up the system. It goes through its usual startup procedure. Among other things, it looks for disks and (in the verbose startup display) prints some info about all three drives. Then it halts at the login screen. Fine. So I log in. When the browser window opens, there's a brief pause while the system spins up the two external drives -- then icons for the external drives appear on the shelf. At this point (I figure), the external drives are mounted. Fine again. But when I telnet to the machine and log in under the same account, the external drives are _not_ mounted. No matter what I do (not much, considering my limited knowledge of Unix), I can't "see" those drives. I think what I _really_ want is for all the drives to be mounted at boot time (i.e., not when I log in). Once again, I'd be grateful for any suggestions... Thanks. Michael. -- Michael O'Henly McPherson Library Internet: lux@sol.uvic.ca University of Victoria lux@uvvm.uvic.ca Victoria, B.C., Canada BITNET: lux@uvvm
