--Signature_Sat__1_Oct_2005_20_07_54_-0400_P5E2LITlX7E7N23l Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I recently came across an older Thinkpad T20. Unfortunatly I wasnt aware of the bios problem untill after a fresh install of 5.4-release took place and I rebooted. My question is, I have an older ThinkPad 570 that does not have a CD or floppy drive or working usb port. I can take the HDD out of the T20 and put it in the 570 and it works fine. The problem is that due to the lack of secondary boot device I cant wipe the disk. Does anyone have any suggestions on a way to get around this? If all else fails I can toss the HDD in my girlfrieds laptop sometime this week or purchase an adaptor to attach the HDD to my workstation. Either way any input at all would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris Reference of the Bios issue -=20 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html#BOOT-ON-T= HINKPAD --=20 Christopher Johnson - <wacky@wacky.ws> =20 --Signature_Sat__1_Oct_2005_20_07_54_-0400_P5E2LITlX7E7N23l Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDPyTfiCWVx3yJMsURArBcAKCsy9YZhM8qbO6m+31JZABUjcvOSgCdH6oi nN9d8M94l3vFCT/foyhTZK0= =qy60 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Sat__1_Oct_2005_20_07_54_-0400_P5E2LITlX7E7N23l--
