If you ever upgraded a 2.XX firmware to a 3.XX it tells you right there that it corrects some type of bug and even asks for a machine reset on the next boot. Can't recall the exact message though but it seems irrelevant to this problem anyway. > -- > Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve > dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
