When I boot I get a message that says: BIOS Basemem (640K) != RTC basemem (639K) I haven't seen this before, but the machines appear to boot up anyway. Is this a sign of some problem? Sometimes I get problems when doing fdisk or disklabel during the install process and the machine hangs. I'm not sure why, but I do know that any machine that was previously running OSF/1 needs a standard DOS fdisk label done before you can fdisk from FreeBSD's install program without a hang. Also, minor nits with the install: - the hostname doesn't get stripped when prompting for the domain name of the machine - install thinks that it is ftping into /var/tmp/ and tries to delete the files from there. In fact, it ftped the files into /var/tmp and they don't get deleted at all. -- Alan
