I tried to reply to your message in the Select list, but it didn't appear
on the list, so here is the repy..

Installing the UNIpod in itself shouldn't have done that, unless
something else changed at the same time. I have a UNIpod + Econet
NIC in my RiscPC, and both are configured. I presume the Econet
still works, however it's not connected to anything to check.

Do you have the Econet module present on your system? I think the
interface setup looks for it, and if it's not there it doesn't offer to
configure Econet. I'm not sure if it's in the ROM thesedays, you might
need to softload it, or if you have the UNIpod installed, add it to the
UNIpod flash with SNAFU.

I think the BootNet scripts are to configure the NetFS side of things, as
depending on if you have AUN and/or Native Econet certain modules need to
be present.

Cheers

Chris
