One block read and zzzzzzpfft! checked the HD geometry and it looks ok from fdisk .. I have been able to boot using fbsdboot.exe, but i'd rather not have to use that method if at all possible. Thanks for any help... --- Kurt Grutzmacher, TK Consulting http://www.tk.org/~grutz Provider to the penniless individual, http://www.tk.org/ non-profit organizations, and clubs grutz@tk.org
