My problem now is that when I try to boot from the SCSI disk where it was installed I get the error "can't open file /boot/loader". In my researching I only found a suggestion that the / slice had to be the first one on the SCSI disk and it doesn't work having something else being the first slice (like swap). This isn't the case though because / is the first slice... Does anyone have any idea how I can correct this error, or possibly some other ideas on what may cause this issue? Or does anyone know where I can get a fixit image for my miata? Thanks for any help you can provide. ~Rich O. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCU/MX0uIdAG/2leYRAuUZAJ46zO4fGi8m8BaomEfJJyBYguPhYgCdEM0r 3KdIL0gMOFTOo2RUuzzidWs= =HEUR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
