I get the following errors, after it loads for a while: Mounting root from cd9660:acd0 setrootbyname failed iso_mountroot: can't find bootvp Root mount failed: 6 And then I get put into this : Manual root file specification: And it asks me for a partition to boot. Any ideas what could be going wrong? Is the ISO broken? There's nothing too weird about the computer. The CDROM drive is the secondary Master. There's a tape drive that is the secondary slave, while the 80gb hard drive is the primary master. It's a pretty vanilla setup - an 800mhz Intel chip on an ASUS motherboard. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/
