Started the loader.efi and booted... and got no where. I then removed the 5.0- CDROM, rebooted again and it worked. I assume the fs1:loader.efi was loading the fs0:<CDROM>/kernel and not my nice new fs1:kernel. Once the kernel was up I used the 5.0- CDROM to install with some minor partitioning problems until I gave freeBSD the complete 2nd disk. Many thanks ! I must activate the 2nd processor and look at the crash that causes :-) Alan -- Alan S.
