BTW: I tried to install 5.3-R on an empty 160G disk. I created a single 16G swap and the rest was a single fs (it was a test box). boot2 could not find the loader. Is this the same problem that you've fixed, or is this something else? Maybe having the rootfs start 16GB into the disk is a bad idea? -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5
