I'm typing all of this by hand since there is no access to the keyboard on the system once I get it to boot.

At that point the keyboard and mouse no longer work. One interesting thing I saw, it appears the load command is "smart enough" to append a ".gz" to the end of a filename passed to it on it's commandline. thanks for the assistance on this. diana To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
