From what John Baldwin said, it's deliberate because -P does something whacky with Athelons or something like that. # mount /mnt /dev/fd0c # echo "-P" > /mnt/boot.config .. should do what the people who actually want to use sysinstall for serial installs (which probably out numbers Athelon installations, but whatever, at least there's a hack^Wworkaround.) -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect, BOFH / Chimes, Inc. billf@chimesnet.com / billf@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
