Make sure that both the CD and the harddrive have their terminators enabled. Go into the controller setup (Ctrl-A at boot) and set termination OFF for the low 8 bits and ON for the high 8 bits. That should solve both your FreeBSD and DOS problems. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Systems Administrator / Systems Analyst jack@germanium.xtalwind.net Crystal Wind Communications, Inc.
