Unfortunately, I will have to start again since I removed the BE that wouldn't boot up. I had tested that it would boot up in single user mode, but I had only tried removing a couple of things from /etc/rc.conf. I will try your suggestions before I try the next time. Thanks for your help. -- Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
