As far as I know, there is no support for the TV Tuner functionality built into FreeBSD. There is however some linux code out there that I was messing around with at one time to be able to use it; as far as I know that projects still being worked on. -It's a software player, not a kernel-level thing so I assume it could be carried over to FreeBSD and re-compiled without too much of a headache. As far as moving that HD goes, you'll need to do two things; change /etc/fstab to make wd1/ad1 = wd0/ad0 (respectfully), and assure that there are entries for those associated slices in /dev. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
