At this stage how would I be able to read the text and data? It's referring to the kernel that it's loading, which is being loaded from the floppy drive if this is your initial boot from floppy. The "text" part is telling you how much executable code was loaded from your kernel, and the "data" part is telling you how much data (strings, buffer space, debug info, etc) was loaded from your kernel. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
