	Is there a way to do this? the fact that i boot off of wd0s4 may 
seem a bit weird to you :> seeing as how i want to use wd0s1.. but at the 
time i installed FreeBSD i had dos on this partition, and linux and its 
swap partition on the other 2.. so that left me with 4.. :> but i have 
since ditched dos, and want to use it's drive for FreeBSD.. i use linux'
s LILO as my os loader.. if that makes any difference.. when i have wd0s1 
marked as a FreeBSD partition, and the FreeBSD loader comes up, it tells 
me it cant find /kernel.. and when i delete wd0s1 and reboot, it boots 
find.. this leads me to beleive that its looking on the first partition 
to boot off of.. :> (not much gets past me.. ahem (smirk)) just curious 
if there is any way i could get around this.. i am in no way emotionally 
attached to using LILO as my booter.. so if fbsd's will fix the problem, 
id be glad to switch.. thanks.. 

	-Paul...
