Thanks for advice Craig, I have a different prob now, This was a network machine
whether thats anything to do with the prob I see now I dont know
anyhow here goes, its seems to boot ok then from the OK prompt i type
boot -s, all seems well until it gets to the following lines

root on sd1a fstype 4.2
swap on sd1b fstype spec size 126000K
dump on sd1b fstype spec size 125988K
Sett

Then thats where I get complete gibberish on the screen, same happens when I
just type boot at the OK prompt, but eventually after a couple of minutes I get
the
login prompt, but it does absolutley nothing when booted using boot -s

Maybe thats why it was in the Cupboard in the first place !!

any thoughts

sorry to keep picking your brains
