You can read about how I got it working on the Open Slate Wiki at <http://wiki.openslate.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Operating_System:Upgrade_to_Win7_/_FreeBSD_8.0_/_Ubuntu_9.10>; Scroll down to section 4.3 :Upgrading to FreeBSD-STABLE", that's where the fun starts. Warning: do not use freebsd-upgrade after going to STABLE. You will bonk your system. I speak from experience. Thankfully, roll-back saved me. -- Gary Dunn, Honolulu osp@aloha.com http://openslate.net/ http://e9erust.blogspot.com/ Sent from Slate001
