Does this tell me anything? That would be really wierd. If you don't get that BIOS it would tend to indicate that the onboard BIOS on the 2940 is disabled or corrupted. > Also, during boot one can explicitly tell BSD where to boot from.

Try omitting it for starters, then maybe try 1. $NUMBER is a fudge factor for the BIOS disk numbers (ie, how to reach 0x82, 0x83, etc.) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
