Thanks for that.
I also mailed you about a fundamental install problem, that I have
overcome, and I thought it may be of help to other users if I told you
about it.

Basically, when issueing the loadbsd command, the screen would blank, and
nothing more (if the screen goes black the ixemul.library has not been
found, if it goes grey, then read on).

I have a Blizzard Accelerator, and ever since I installed it the SetPatch
command crashed the machine. This is rectified by by removing the jumper
for MEMSPEED on the accelerator (described in the manual). The SetPatch
command should then be issued in the startup-sequence so the CPU caches
are enabled.

Many thanks.
