Re: Looking for Boot P and can't reinstall

Hello:

Thanks the help regarding the short name limitation. Now I9ve got a bigger
problem. Following the the advice from Apple I reset the Netinfo Manager
because I messed up the admin and root passwords.

Why didn't you just reset the passwords? That's a function on the OSX(S) Install CDs

Now whenever I re-enter
all my networking info and continue it searches endlessly for a 3boot p2
server on the network when I don9t have one. So I thought I would re-install
but when the 3select a destination2 prompt comes up during the installation
process, I cannot pick my drive because 3Could not find specified message
for index 1.2 Any ideas?

Yes, there are two ways around this:

1) DISconnect from the network physically...yank your ethernet cord.

2) When it starts searching for the server, *IMMEDIATELY* hit cancel, and it will proceed just fine. Yes, the immediately part is THAT important.
