This problem has been reported by a number of people. I, myself, am one of them. See the subject line 'Odd Boot Menu' in the freebsd-questions archive. The only sure-fire way I found to fix it was to go to the new boot blocks Robert Nordier (the FreeBSD Developer who handles this type of thing) located at, http://www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/boot0.tar.gz You may perhaps try to use the boot0cfg(8) command to fix things first. However, that was not enough in my case. -- Crist J. Clark cjclark@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
