Just a note for everyone when partitioning your HD for FreeBSD, if you use the entire disk "dedicated" instead of using a DOS/other compatible master boot record, some BIOS' won't load the FreeBSD MBR and will die. (And, I surmise, some BIOS' may think it's a virus.) -jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
