Thanks for the info.  After I install correct bootstrap software, my machine 
boots just fine.  However, it's giving me libutil.so.5 not found when I try to 
boot multi-user, and I found out :

# ls -l libutil.so*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     14 Jun 20 11:32 libutil.so -> libutil.so.5.1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     14 Jun 20 11:32 libutil.so.5 -> libutil.so.5.1
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  24643 May 26 03:50 libutil.so.5.0

I had to re link libutil.so and libutil.so.5 to libutil.so.5.0 to get it to 
work.

Is this a 19990620 snapshot error or am I just missing libutil.so.5.1 file?  
I've checked all of my tar files but couldn't find libutil.so.5.1.

Thanks.

	Peter.
