Re: PowerPC Problem

["Steve Langdon" <langdonsm@hotmail.com>]

Thanks again for your assistance....

I've found out some more about the nature of the problem. I found out how to 
navigate down thro the file structure using the <> keys. The booter is 
concentating the folder names to 8 characters. Hence it cant find 
"new-powermac" cos it see's it as "new-powe". I can get past the 
"disks-powerpc" folder by navigating , but the booter is looking to find 
"new-powermac" and cant.

Why should this be?. Is there a setting somewhere in dbootstrap?. Can I pass 
it an argument to change this setting?.    Maybe its a setting in my CDRom 
or Drive.
