You're going to have to juggle your SCSI disks around; the problem you're seeing is that you can only boot from the first two disks, and the FreeBSD boot manager is on the third disk. I'd swap disks 2 and 3, and then install the boot manager on the first disk. (Grab the DOS boot-easy installer off the CDrom and do it with that) > Thanks, Mike Kaylor -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[
