We might have found the culprit. I'm using fbsdboot, too. Sorry for the incomplete information. I just didn't realized the possibility of the boot-method influencing a loaded kernel. > The answer for me was to re-install my normal bootblock 'BootEasy' > which had been lost when I recently re-installed Windows 95. I'm using fbsdboot for a slightly different reason. I'm multibooting the machine with FreeBSD SMP and UP, NT WS, NT Server and DOS/Win. (BSD's bootslice occupies sd1, NTs and Win95 are booting of sd0; the data-partitions are spreaded around 3 disks [bootdisks included]) Using booteasy I had difficulties with NT's harddisk-manager. This thing obviously insists on marking the bootsector with a so called signature, before taking any actions on the harddisks; thereby it used to overwrite the booteasy-code? Maybe I should try to boot the bsd-system directly from the NT-Bootmanager. I've tried that once, but without much success.
