Lets also consider the case of a root partition exists on a device which the BIOS does not support, but DOS and FreeBSD do. A good example of this may be a SCSI controller without a BIOS, or maybe a network style load. A person could have just the kernel on the DOS parition, or have the driver for the device loaded and boot off of it that way. -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Systems Administrator/Research Programmer | Web: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
