In any case, as i said, that problem WAS only secondary. Let me clarify the problem with the disk boot. It gets all the way through the kern.flp load, and asks for the mfsroot.flp. It starts that ok, with the usual errors (about over/underruns) and then dumps a whole bunch of stuff on the screen, in the form of: ----------------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- repeated. mostly numbers... some hex... any ideas besides the zip disk one? I AM thinking about the that but, i dont HAVE a zip drive, so i'd have to borrow one... what did you use? the scsi one? I'd think that's the only one you could boot from. And i don't know anyone with one of those. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
