Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Just to clarify: FreeBSD doesn't use LILO; it has its own boot-loader (which I, for one, like a lot better than LILO--for one simple reason: it defaults to the last system booted). However, you may have either told FreeBSD not to install its boot-loader when you did the install, or you may be getting a "daisy-chained" LILO being invoked from the Linux partition after the FreeBSD boot loader already picked Linux. Are you getting a F1/F2 type of prompt before the LIL stuff comes out? -- "Brian, the man from babble-on" bts@babbleon.org Brian T. Schellenberger http://www.babbleon.org Support http://www.eff.org.
