OK. I just recreated the partition, and have the same issue. Venix installs its own bootblocks, it seems, overwriting the ones I'd installed. I think I have the modded 3.2 wutil, so I'll see if I can make it bootable by booting to that... I hate WUTIL, though, because it only used weird function keys that only exist on the Rainbow, and the keyboard mappings is always opaque enough that it's a hassle. I guess I'll have to see if I can hack it to also support simple letters for its operations as well... Maybe put out a 3.3 with the boot fix and that
....
