That went fine. I went to /sys/boot and did a make depend make make install FreeBSD is on slice 3 of the one and only IDE drive [In case it matters, partition 1 is NT. partition 2 is FAT. The machine boots into the NT loader, which then boots the FreeBSD boot blocks] I did a disklabel -B /dev/rwd0s3 Reboot. The loader can't figure out where it was loaded from -- thus it defaults to disk0 (floppy drive). I can change the currdev setting to disk1s3 and it boots up fine. Any ideas as to what I missed? The list archives don't have anything on this yet (too new), and all the mails I saved on this don't show what I missed. Thanks Viren -- Viren R.
