I'll have to write them down, then type them in at work. I don't think the screens driver works during boot, so the things that scroll off the top are lost. Until I can get them, here's the general idea finds real memory finds sio0,sio1 finds lpt0 finds fd0, fd1 finds wdc0 irq 14 finds wd0 (geometry is correct) finds wdc1 irq 15 finds wd2 (geometry is correct) finds aha0 finds cd0 finds npx0 panic cannot mount / reboot in 15 sec, .... The messages are similar if I put it on the first controler, only the second drive is wd1, not wd2. In either case at boot time it comes up with wd(1,a)/kernel, boots, but can't mount root when on wdc1. The motherboard is an ASUS PCI 486, and the CPU is an AMD DX4-100 It should be possible to boot from the second controler on the newer motherboards, and it can't be too unusual. The application I'm looking at is a lecturer at a local uni who wants to install FBSD on some spare space on his third drive, then use the diskless boot from that box for a classroom of 486's TIA Peter Peter Stubbs, St Aidan's AGS. ph +61-07-3379-9911, fax +61-07-3379-9432
