The solution is to install Debian before freebsd. My system had slice/partitions 1 & 3 assigned to freebsd. I found that installing Debian in ext partitions corrupted the first partition, but left the third partition untouched. Oddly though, a copy of Libranet (based on Debian) did not cause the same problems. good luck Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
