But that surely doesn't mean that it wouldn't work! Which I think was the actual thrust of the original question, even if the post confused a bootloader with something that could run under emulation. In short, I don't think there's any reason why someone couldn't use Lilo as their FreeBSD bootloader. -- Andrew Boothman http://sour.cream.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
