Mark> http://x69.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=700810190&CONTEXT=976477108.518324252&hitnum=2 Thanks! Seems a big hairy (grabbing boot0 images from FreeBSD-3.x, etc). As a last attempt before doing the above, I tried telling sysinstall to NOT use the normal FreeBSD boot manager, but to install the "Standard" boot manager, as it says "no boot manager". [Standard=none is a bit confusing, when the next choice is "don't touch the existing boot manager on disk"]. Anyway, the Vectra can now find the bootable FreeBSD disk, so I'm up and running. I'm not trying to use anything but FreeBSD so this is fine for me. Hopefully this note in the archives might help others. Thanks again.
