I have to set the geometry on wd0 (981/10/17, according to ide_config) before I can get anywhere else in the install, and I can't seem to get it to write the boot kernel to either drive. I know I saw an option to "install from existing file system" once. Ugh. This has become a personal vendetta to get this thing up and booting from the hd. Any help... -IAN
