Take another look at the man page. The -d option specifies a BIOS drive number - you can usually leave this blank and it will defaul to the first BIOS drive, which is generally correct for most setups. You probably want a command more like: # boot0cfg -Bv da0 There are other useful options, such as setting the delay and setting the default partition/disk to boot. I myself usually use the command: # boot0cfg -Bv -o noupdate -t 50 <device> Nathan --DLrrb1ThO6aUXDeM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAtMgFO0ZIEthSfkkRAn3OAKCS7/ocnGQz2xC+vtxvUbSyiUSLxACgzm2H GhzF2A4+2V8azmBk6JZ0vQ8= =9kVJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --DLrrb1ThO6aUXDeM--
