However, the 'mountroot>' code seems b0rked. Since using 'ufs:/dev/ad16s1a' fails, as well as '?' and 'ufs:ad16s1a'. Only turning off the controller in bios to return the numbering back to ad12 worked. (I didn't try the 'set' method at the boot loader). -- othermark atkin901 at nospam dot yahoo dot com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired); __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
