(I use a boot-manager to select FreeBSD.) I simply need to grab the install floppies for the 'current' release, (I have them already) and install a 'fresh' install of 'Current.' (Why?) I've read the 'current' supports the YMF744 for sound. What happens when I run the 'boot' floppy, then install the 'mfsroot' - (remove any un-needed devices) all is fine, however - the system gets to the: "Please Wait, Probing For Devices" and reports: "Unable to open disk md1 - press any key to reboot" I've installed FreeBSD numerous times - this is the first this has happend. Any help? Greatly Appreciated. Regards, Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
