On my all-SCSI system, I have to tell the BIOS to boot from A: first in order to boot from the CD-ROM. The Adaptec controller sees the bootable CD, remaps it to A: and remaps the A: floppy to B: and then boots from the CD. -- Greg Black To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
