I'll try booting off a 4.0 disk tonight and see what happens. Something to remember about these cards is that they are pretty archaic. I can't boot off mine, I don't know why, but I think it is because the BIOS on the card is just too old. I have also had problems getting them to work on my P2 machine. (I have them running in a 486 right now) Personally, I only use these things because I get a peverse satisfaction out of making old hardware work. It's also the reason I use Unix to do things. It's harder that way. :) Josh > --Damon > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
