If it is a problem with the bootstrapper finding your partition, you can tell BootEasy where to look at the 'boot:' prompt. If you did not install BootEasy as your bootstrap, boot off of a FreeBSD bootfloppy. At the boot prompt, I believe you would specify the secondary slave IDE drive as (someone catch me if I mess it up), 1:wd(3,a) This should boot the kernel, then you can make the modifications suggested. -- Crist J.
