OK, I can finally boot again by telling the floppy 0:wd(0,c) . . . But I cannot get the boot manager functioning after several tries. It correctly displays the three choices, but hangs and only beeps when keys are hit. I'd do a source install, but I don't see what difference this could make. Oh, and I finally figured out what's wrong with one of those old evil disks--one of them, after being installed in the old gateway, refuses to function except as a slave drive. But the data's intact, and it can boot from the slave drive with the bios on my machine. Odd . . . but I doubt I can find a bios setting on a 1984 machine for that . . . rick -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
