The problem I have occurs when the BSD boot manager brings up my selection - the BSD partition will not allow me to boot on it. When I try to select it, I just get a beep from my pc speaker?? It's driving me nuts. I can't remember what I did to fix this.. but it took me song long that when I had actually gotten it running I had forgotten to update the root password... and then everything was hosed. Please be sure all replies are mailed to this address. danke shocker@ionet.net \______AIM: protodome______ICQ: shocker|| I>///
