I had a root disk crc error while doing a 0.93R6 install. I was prompted to insert a good root disk and press return I just pressed return, to retry the same root disk. The system mounted the root floppy (not ramdisk) on / and continued. To duplicate this, open the drive door while the root disk is loading to ram disk. mitchell@mdd.comm.mot.com (Bill Mitchell) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Bill Mitchell : New bug report received and forwarded.
