Well I was having this problem with GRUB which someone helped me with. Now Grub will boot my USB key and load loader. The problem? loader hangs, and eventually says it can't find the kernel. when I lsdev it always gives the right description of my hard disk partitions on the hard drive, but prints nothing for the USB disk. So... Is this a problem of FreeBSD not being able to read from the USB stick this early? Is this a problem of the BIOS being fishy with FreeBSD and refusing to give up the details of the USB stick? Is this (like a read in another post) just a problem of the specific USB stick I'm using, and that there's something different about different sticks? Do these little sticks really have firmware? You ponder that, I'm gonna go drop some cash on a new USB stick, hope that's it. -Fred ____________________________________________________________________________________ Expecting?
