When the boot message displays, hit a key (you have to do this immediatly). It should then ask you which file to boot and you should respond with OLD.unix (assuming that is where ESIX puts your old unix kernel when you build a new one). If this still doesn't boot, get you boot diskette, boot the system on that, fsck then mount your root filesystem on /mnt, cp /etc/default/boot /mnt/etc/default/boot, go hunt around for the old unix kernel that should be lying around somewhere, when you find it, move it to /unix. Then cd /, umount /mnt, uadmin 2 0, remove floppy, reboot. If this still doesn't work, restore your entire system because you probably changed something else that you apparently don't remember. -- Conor P.
