Instead take your drive, and a DOS boot floppy with bootinst.exe and boot.bin and go to your customer. Hang your drive as slave, and boot from the floppy, and install booteasy using bootinst.exe, and you can boot either of the disks. /Mikael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
