It will not hang *every* boot, but every several. It will complain every time, though. Linux fdisk doesn't place logical partitions exactly on cylinder bounds, even when given sizes in cylinders, which results in what freebsd sees as a bad disklabel. rick -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
