The number of BYTES in the all the autoexec files in your boot images, and the file in SYS:LOGIN up to the point immediateley after NET3, must be the same. I.E. If your boot image autoexec says wd8003e -d -n 0x60 3 0x280 0xd000 ipx net3 This is 47 bytes, counting 3 CRLF's Then the autoexec file in SYS:LOGIN can be Echo Off Rem 12345678901234567890123456789 F: Login Student to get 47 bytes before the F: where the LOGIN\Autoexec takes over from the boot image autoexec. I hope this is helps, it caused problems for me for quite a while. Mark Cramer CBE Operations Manager QUT Brisbane Australia
