Thinking this would be simple I popped a 4.5-RELEASE disc in and rebooted. I've tried a few things including reseting the bios settings, booting with and without plug N play OS enabled in the bios, booting from floppy, disabling everythign I didn't need (including pccard) in visualconfig, but everytime I boot it has the same result, it gets to: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c and then freezes. The machine has some bizarre linux distro on it right now and needless to say I'm not about to use that. :) Anyone have any suggestions? -Bill -- -=| Bill Swingle - -=| Fingerprint: C1E3 49D1 EFC9 3EE0 EA6E 6414 5200 1C95 8E09 0223 -=| "Computers are useless.
