Please don't tell my PC164 that it can't boot from an IDE drive! :-) Seriously, with a late model SRM, the PC164 MB can boot from an IDE drive without any problems. Note: I'm currently running NetBSD on that system, and haven't tried to boot FreeBSD off of the IDE drive, so there may be issues in FreeBSD with it. However, SRM understands and can boot from the IDE drive. -- Eric Schnoebelen eric@cirr.com http://www.cirr.com The law of gravity says no fair jumping up without coming back down. -- 5th grader's description.
