In-Reply-To: <3.0.2.32.19971020002901.006912b8@multiverse.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk your message came through in a wierd way, I can't quote it. In any case, I'd suggest using a newer version of FreeBSD first. 2.2.5 should be released today or tomorrow and it should be a good release. Newer versions of the bootblocks let you drop a boot.config file in your root dir to configure things. You might try using a different boot manager. Os-BS is included with the CDROM in /tools.
