As I already wrote in another mail, the setup is the following: Headless, 8-CURRENT, boot0sio, COM1 <---> ucom0, tip(1), 7.0, laptop I have two disks in the 'headless' machine, and I wanted to use the boot manager (the one with F1-F5) to switch between disks and slices after each boot. Cheers, Ulrich Spoerlein -- It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak, and remove all doubt.
