Sorry about that. I forgot to mention that I have a Buslogic BT445S VLB SCSI card and the floppy controller is connected to it. This machine has no IDE disks. > It would be a help if you could try the custom floppy mentioned on > his ELF Day page > http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html > and let us know whether this works for you. This floppy worked fine I was able to boot the floppy and load the kernel on the floppy. I was also able to boot the floppy and load the kernel on my first SCSI disk and boot into single user mode. I just wanted to verify that it worked on this machine before I updated it. Thanks for the help. -Reggie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
