Someone put 9load out of its misery. Wow, is my face red. I checked on the boot sequence and 9load is probably not the culprit. According to 9load(8) the boot sequence is: BIOS, MBR, PBS, 9load, kernel The PBS program may be the culprit. The last thing I see on a boot from the HD is "PBS..." then the machine recycles to reboot. From the floppy the boot continues and is OK. Question: How to verify and fix the PBS?
