Booted the 3.1R CD on a Gateway E-3100 P-200 system. Let sysinstall delete the fat partition and create its own for FreeBSD. There are no other filesystems on the drive. The only other drives are a plain old floppy and ATAPI CDROM. The CDROM is on the secondary IDE interface. At boot, BootEasy offers: F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 0 F1 beeps and redraws the above. Selecting F5 results in a menu listing only: F1 FreeBSD And that works. But doesn't work if there is a power failure or some such. Failed to find anything about this mentioned in the FAQ or Handbook. Changing the BIOS boot device settings didn't change anything. Didn't have this problem with an older Gateway P-133, but that machine boots SCSI. I'm stumped. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nebula.tbe.com ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
