- Seems to be a problem with the CD-ROM mounting code... I've only seen it
- happening on 486 DX2/50's and above (I.e. 486 DX2 80, 486 DX2 66, 486 DX2 50)
-
- (Executor started with no parameters. If you add
- -skipdrives cdfg (E is my cd-rom drive), the startup speed is acceptable)
-
- Running under DOS, no autoexec/config, 486DX2/80, executor 1.99p9+6.
- (Happens with machines without CD-ROMs too, so this does not appear to be
- a factor)
-
-
- So, do I get a chocolate cookie? <GRIN>.
- If you have any questions, I have a machine in front of me which exibits the
- problem.
