(I won't blame them, they don't sit that deep in the OS design as the developers of the system.) It's likely that you won't be able to successfully install FreeBSD on the disk in the way it is currently partitioned (or that it won't boot off the hard disk later), but by all means, it must not hang at boot time. I still suspect a problem with the ATAPI CD drive. -- 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. ;-)
