The strange thing is that I've got two identically configured servers and the problem only occurs on one of them. What I do is at the Boot: prompt I type in "/boot/loader" (without the quotes) and hit enter, and the thing boots up fine and dandy. So that's how you can get it working in the meantime, and hopefully someone will enlighten us about the real solution. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
