This in and of itself was fine, but I didn't make it bootable. Then I went in with sysinstall and flipped the boot flag and wrote it out, wondering if that would do it. It did, but in the process I got booteasy installed as well. NOW, what happens is I get "F1 . . . BSD", but hitting F1 gets me nowhere. Is there a quick way out of this conundrum, or am I going to have to blast the disk to get around this? Thanks, Brian
