An interesting suggestion, Janko, but not that easy in practice. I have a number of IDE disks lying around in fact, and have rejected that idea since there is something a little strange about the bios on this machine. If an IDE disk is plugged into the mobo, it doesn't seem to see the SCSI adapter at all. I suppose I will just have to bite the bullet and kill my FreeBSD setup. I do have the disks, so it's no big deal to reinstall, and I haven't done much configuring of this machine yet. I just thought there was a method of saving the mbr and/or boot directory to floppy and restoring it later but I haven't been able to identify it in the archives. Thanks, anyway. mvh/regards James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
