Thanks a lot, John. How do I add miibus? Just as "device miibus"? And where? Just after entering the card or at the beginning? Just one thing. I was making changes as I was writing my post. I actually changed as: --------- #device vga0 at isa? device pci1 # NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 64/64 pro (Ultra Vanta) # splash screen/screen saver pseudo-device splash # syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console device sc0 at isa? flags 0x100 ------------ Is this all right, or as I showed it in my first post? Thanks you for the time you have taken to reply. Teilhard Knight The Extraterrestrial Who ate my sandwich?
