This seems to have gone well with one small exception: I can't get it to boot. My system just sits there and doesn't try to boot. It doesn't even complain. I've even tried it in my development system but the BIOS just skips by the disc. Is there anything that I need to do to make a Flash card boot? I've had a look at the BIOS partition table and the partition I'm using is marked as active, which is what I understand is needed for a BIOS to take interest in booting. Any help would be gratefully accepted as I'm a bit stumped here. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
