AW: [Oberon] Newbie question re. BB

[Rene Krywult]

That did the trick, thank you.

So, it seems again that he who can read (and does it) has an advantage :-).

Now if anyone could point me to the documentation of how to get the 
network going.....

Thanks again

Rene

If this is not the case, update the Oberon boot loader (OBL.Bin) using Partitions.UpdateBootLoader IDE1#1 OBL.Bin ~ (and adjust the BIOS drive number to 81H, again)
