First install the HP utility partition using the navigator CD that comes with the netserver, then install FreeBSD without modifying the boot sector. When booting, the system will show a 10 secs timer for the HP utilities, then it'll boot BSD unattended. There are other ways to solve your problem, but IMHO this is the best solution, because the HP partition is small and it could be useful tomorrow, for example in case of hardware failures. --- Stefano Riva Software Engineer - Systems Administrator Informazioni Editoriali I.E.
