If that works, it would boot FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1, but I would see if it works. That failed (invalid signature). I could also try kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel That failed to boot the proper partition, went to the debugger (db>), whereupon all I could type was "reboot". Now can I safely install boot into the partition to be booted, as I did with NetBSD on USB stick? gpart -p /boot/boot -i 3 That would be for /dev/ada0p3, but I am afraid of damaging something. Tom
