If it does, you cannot symlink it to outside the chroot'ed area. I copied /cdrom/boot/loader over to /tftpboot/boot/loader, and made the symlink there. > As for the E450... well...

Anyway, I'm quite happy I've got that box to play with. It's probably the largest machine so far I've been able to run FreeBSD on. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-systems.de http://www.interface-systems.de/~j/
