(now has a #9 Imagine 128 display card). Hmmm. Do you have two IDE drives or one? I know that FreeBSD doesn't like it much if you do, and demands that you configure your CDROM as a slave on the primary interface if so. As to why fbsdboot doesn't work, that's hard to say. That utility is DOS based, totally outside my area of knowledge and the original author has long since gone on to better things! :-) Jordan
