I am running CS1.1 on a Blue and White G3 (OS8.6, 128MB, 350 Mhz)
using Bootx1.1.3 and the 2.2.6 kernel which came on the CD
What I am finding is that my computer will occasionally freeze at startup
(at the "booting..." point).
This happens roughly every third or fourth boot attempt, though it
sometimes does happen twice in succession.

Is there a known problem with this configuration?
Can it be cured by changing my kernel or version of BootX
All help appreciated.
