The debug screen said something about (3,TIOC....)... Anyway, I can't seem to find any install information on http://www.freebsd.org so I didn't know what the boot options do, but the newgroup encouraged me to try -c I then noticed that my machine with 1 (one) IDE host adapter and two drives was autodetecting wdc0 *AND* wdc1. After disabling wdc1 I booted into the install only to fail sometime later just after filling in the TCP/IP info. I was hoping to be able to make a SLIP or PPP connection and install via FTP but I have no docs, just vague rumours, to tell me that this can be done or how.... I'm going to refresh my boot/root set and try again. -- Michael Dillon Voice: +1-604-549-1036 Network Operations Fax: +1-604-542-4130 Okanagan Internet Junction Internet: michael@junction.net http://www.junction.net - The Okanagan's 1st full-service Internet provider
