Hi Thank's for the reply. In fdisk I just said "A" and then "S" to set bootable before "W" to write it out. I did change /etc/fstab to da1s1a and da1s1d. When I do fdisk after mounting it it says device /mnt/boot/mbr is not character special. Info from dos bootblock; data for partition 1,2,3,4 is unused. I'll try putting small dos partition first. Thank's Damon Hi All work's fine. Used boot0cfg -v -b /mnt/boot/boot0 da1 Now boots up fine (But loads very slowly). Damon H-------------------------------------------------------
