However everything went just fine, but after a reboot the bootloader just couldn't find a kernel to boot. I repeated the procedure 2 more times thereafter but the result remained the same, is there something i should know about installing via FTP ? :-)) or perhaps something has changed on the installation disks ? oh fun facts: annoyed by that unexpected denial of service i chose to install OpenBSD instead and , believe it or not, just came to the point to check its dmesg just to realize that it doesnt support SMP yet :(( :)) yours kinda sincerely, Stefan Schmidt - -- Q: What's the difference between Bell Labs and the Boy Scouts of America?
