We don't have time to fix it for the current release, but I I have two servers that refuse to boot unless configured with a dangerously dedicated boot disk. At boot time, the only message printed is "Missing Operating System" or some approximation of that phrase. Both of these boxes used to run BSD/OS and I did a clean install from CD for FreeBSD 4.1 on them. I *really* hope it continues to be supported as I can't bring them down long enough for a dump/restore/repartition if DD mode goes away in a future release of FreeBSD. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
