I am using the standard IDE controllers on the motherboard. There is a 30Gb disk set as master on the primary controller. On the secondary control set as slave is a CD-ROM drive. If I take the CD-ROM drive off of the box I get the exact same error as above. If I leave the CD-ROM drive on it boots fine. Problem is this is a 2U case, and there is no space for a CD-ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Erich Zigler In actuality, [Romeo & Juliet]'s an awful lot like the average sysadmin job. Sure, it looks really sweet at first, and there are always laughs to be had every payday, but it's all death and tears in the end. -- Erik Nielsen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
