Now I'd like to wipe everything and switch to the i386 version, but the memstick images (all of the last 4 or 5) seem to be broken. My machine sees that the USB stick is there, but won't boot off of it at all. When I do 'fdisk' on /dev/da0 with the i386 stuff loaded, I get a invalid partition error, so on a hunch I decided to take a closer look at the memstick images using dd if=xxx-memstick bs=512 count=1 | hd The amd64 images look like what I would expect: some bootblock code with a partition table at the end and the "a5" type marker. The i386 image, however, is ALL '00'. It would appear the whatever puts those memstick images together (src/release/i386/make-memstick.sh, perhaps?) is failing for some reason. Has anyone else tried the i386 memstick and having the same problem? Jimmy
