I don't believe you can install from UFS unless you mount it first and then tell it to do an FS install. I have a 7.x based USB installer that is split in 2 - half FAT32 half UFS and it works. Having half FAT32 is handy if you need to edit/add stuff from Windows. It does make it a PITA to build the install key though. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBKFkN35ZPcIHs/zowRAuA3AJ0TC8kWInVvIENlWUqVAlIQj8vHzwCbBK2Y mtUZUkwMJvM5wAILUOudVzE= =KPk+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
