I finally got around to trying the 2.1.0 "upgrade" option, and was dumb enough not to change the ftp mode from "abort" the first time. Of course, ftp.freebsd.org was busy, and the machine rebooted. Ok, I learned my lesson, go through all those dialogs (including booting with -c because neither ed0 nor ed1 corresponds with the jumper-selectable ports and irq's on the SMC Elite) and switch to "reselect". The login failed because ftp.freebsd.org was busy again, so I typed in the URL again (I have to use the URL mode to get through my firewall), and when I hit enter it gives the same dialog as the first time -- "Failed to load the root disk, the system will now reboot." Feh. I guess I'll try "retry" mode next. (And I guess I'd better set it to retry 1000 times or so, or it'll run out and reboot on me...) Bill
