That's the main reason I went with PowerBoot, and stick with it. It seems that all the free boot-manager options have had trouble with one or more of the systems I am trying to boot up. (admittedly I haven't tried boot0 on release 4.1 or afterwards. My most recent attempt with it was a few months ago, and I ended up going back to using PowerBoot) --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
