Someone suggested I flash upgrade my mb BIOS but I ended up using it as an excuse to upgrade my harddrive - I got a Maxtor, which worked without any problems. -- C-YA Jon http://www.witchspace.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
