Since then there has been silence regarding this "who knows how to translate it into FreeBSD speak" part. No, I didn't want to start a (another?) Gentoo thread. I thought there had been quite a few Vaio users with a similar problem and there could have been a known solution already. But since neither do I own a Vaio nor do I have access to one the above question was this unspecific and maybe disoriented. But I asked in the hope that it will turn into something helpful ... Or has this already been resolved and the "I can boot from CD but cannot access it from the running FreeBSD system" is not a problem at all (any longer)? virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
