I have tried this install on two different disks on this machine with the same results (changing the BIOS to get to the 2nd disk). There was once a copy of PCBSD running on this machine, so its got to be possible to get FreeBSD up, but I just seem to be waisting time trying to get it up. Any thoughts? I would really like to get FreeBSD up on this box. -- Reg.Clemens reg@dwf.com
