Nolan" Subject: Re: [os2genau] a reboot question On my system setboot /b will shutdown the system and restart it without the CtrlAltDel requirement. On looking at the Help on this command, it is there for controlling the boot manager. I use bootmanager and so it works, however I feel that it should work on systems without it. Re Airboot, I used it for quite some time, but when I added a SCSI drive to my system it went bananas. It somehow got the SCSI and EIDE drives mixed up. It would stop during the boot saying there was a problem with the boot sector, but using the repair option reported no error. to me it seemed to look at the SCSI when booting and the EIDE when repairing. The result was a totaly useless system which would not boot. I could not even reinstall Airboot, it reported that it was already installed and working. So I reinstalled bootmanager. It may be funky, but it allways works. Dennis. ps.

Add in DOS support, no biggie in my opinion. -Chris WarpSpeed Computers - The Graham Utilities for OS/2.
