(strange that they didn't wipe the disk before letting this out of the door!) i'm not a NeXToid but assuming Mach works approximately like any other flavor of UNIX you'll need to boot "single user" to modify the appropriate boot scripts. best bet would seem to be to get the original installation media and boot from it. if you can get to a boot ROM prompt (is there such a thing on a NeXT cube?) then there's probably a single-user switch on the boot command (e.g. a-la Sun's boot -s). i'm sure there are news groups out there with dozens of folks who could answer this one. - glenn +=========================================================+ | Glenn F.
