Let me guess, you have an ATAPI CDROM drive, from which you couldn't boot the CDROM? And you haven't read the 3.3-RELEASE Errata? http://www2.za.freebsd.org/releases/3.3R/errata.html If this is the case, please stop spreading partially accurate but misleading information. "Corrupt" isn't a good choice of words. Is that the word Walnut Creek used? Ciao, Sheldon.
