Silly, I should have mentioned my monitor/keyboard (for future refernce it's some ancient AST VGA monitor and a new PS/2 KB.) But it's solved! I tried 'boot -Dh' but that only resulted in "No boot" so I started trying variations. boot -D and boot -h also returned No boot, but boot -dh did something, but it didn't boot. Finally, taking a look at the output, I tried: /boot/loader -dh and it worked! So, thanks again to everyone who responded, I'm gonna go read up on all the options for boot on the off chance something like this happens down the road when I bring our second K7 up as a FreeBSD machine. --Boaz Klappholz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
