Is there anything similar? It also seems I'm a bit unlucky these days with 5.1. CF-Reader crahes the system, floppy crashes the system, my RAID-controller crashes the system, also /stand/fdisk crashes the system. And since my burner has reached MTBF I bought the USB-Floppy to install via ftp, but FreeBSD doesn't boot from USB-Floppys. DOS does! Desperate greetings, -Harry
