Quite true, and easy enough to work around. The basic install docs actually tell you how to do it several ways, including using dd. My first fbsd 2.2.2 machine was done with a set of disks I dd'd under Solaris 2.6 x86 (pre-release, as I was working on it @ Sun). I did a far earlier install, once, but I don't recall what version, and netbsd was still under active development at the time (3-4 years ago). In those days, things weren't nearly as easy. $.02 refunds available. -Jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
