The system never gets to boot so theres no way to patch it. Is there a method of booting off of a floppy disk that I haven't seen? (I'm kinda new to freebsd myself) I've loaded linux and am waiting for 2.1 to be released (hoping this will be fixed by then).. I would like to load freebsd now though if that is an option. -- |:=-@-=:|------|:=-@-=:|------|:=-@-=:|------|:=-@-=:| Joe Beiter Hargray Telephone Company jwb@hargray.com My views may not reflect the views and policies of Hargray Telephone Company.
