I thought mentioning that I was using the latest 3.3 CD, would indicate I'd read it. Sorry for not being clear. > Please try reposting with more details.

The CD now boots. In fact the older version of the CD boots also. Problem solved. Just wierd that FBSD wouldn't boot, whereas Win98 and Redhat 6.1 would. Surely some minor problem with the CD, still? Anyway, I'm alright Jack. Cheers. Mark Powell - UNIX System Administrator - Clifford Whitworth Building A.I.S., University of Salford, Salford, Manchester, UK.
