Does it just give an error and move on? I believe I wrote the bsdinstall bits in a way that it installs firmware one by one just for these cases where a firmware package does not exist it will still install all the others. Not sure if that all still is the case? /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb r15:7 --0-1314923512-1760346687=:11296--
