Unfortunately, I don't remember how I got it installed on the 600sc. However, I do remember one thing: going into /stand/sysinstall will cause the system to lock (panic). Currently its running something else other than FreeBSD :-( Hope this helps, Pete __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
