What you could do : - send here the result of dmesg run whe your system is running under 3.0-R (thus, you will se if both of your drives are seen by FreeBSD) - tell what is your hardware config in detail - inspect the content of your new 3.2 partitions by mounting them manually from 3.0-R (eg : # mount /dev/wd2s1a /mnt : ls /mnt -- if your disk is on IDE) - be sure that yo have the right boot blocks on your 3.2 root partition (if not, use disklabel -B with the new boot blocks from the 3.2-R /boot directory) TfH "Liotta, Bob" wrote: > > Hello, > > I currently have 3.0-RELEASE on a Pentium Overdrive machine.
