I am fairly sure that boot loader could boot the 9.1G drive as it gives me the option to boot from it. I can not however figure out how to make the 9.1G drive bootable. I tried using (freebsd's) fdisk to set the first partition active, I also installed my kernel on the partition. I think what it comes down to is the boot straping, but I have searched the mail archives and can't find any posts with my situation. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly apreciate it. Thank you. H. J.
