You know too much. :-) You don't need to recompile. >If I turn on my system FreeBSD should start (I don't need any other OS) If you don't need any other o/s, it's perhaps best to dedicate the entire disk to FreeBSD. If you can, backup that disk, relabel it, and restore from tape. I'm not sure if DOS' ``fdisk /mbr'' would help you, perhaps you could write down the figures, re-install the original boot block, and then restore the location of the FreeBSD "slice". -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
