Standard basically means delete any boot manager that's there and don't replace it with anything. Just make it a plain mbr. Usually during the install it will then do a newfs on each mount point and start the install. I don't know if there's a way to tell to just zap the mbr and that's all. In the past I had used a dos boot floppy with fdisk on it. -- Joseph Scott joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu Office Of Water Programs - CSU Sacramento To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
