Also, if I switch the order of the drives around, it seems to work from the CD, making me suspect that BTX doesn't like something on the hard drive I'm trying to install FreeBSD to. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out what. Using the boot floppies has it's own set of challenges, however (DHCP doesn't seem to work with my Intel NIC, using the fxp0 driver - but that's another issue). -- Joe ________________________________________________________________ $0 Bannerless Web Hosting, 10 POP and Web Email Accounts, & more Get It Now At www.doteasy.com
