Well, I happen to have FreeBSD installed on a Maxtor 1 gig drive right now with the ontrack overlay as well. The only thing I had problems with is the boot manager. It didn't work with the FreeBSD boot manager. The boot manager wiped out the overlay, and when I reinstalled it, it wiped out the boot manager. Appearently they both want to live in the same place on the drive. Other that that, it is running fine with the overlay installed. I just use OS/2's boot manager instead, but that is because I am running 3 different OS's on the same 1 gig drive. SeeYa! -- -Chris Brunner --cjb@efn.org- ---Eugene, OR- ----USA-------
