Actually, I've never had to mess with the boot flag on any partition. The boot manager that comes with FreeBSD replaces the MBR and takes care of all that. (of course, I use system commander, and don't even have to mess with the boot manager any more). >3. Other than that, installation was pretty easy (even though I had to >upload it all at 14.4k). Ouch... I've had to do that a time or two. Been on a T1 for the last few months :) >Thanks to everyone, >Paul Missman You're welcome, though I don't think I've given any assistance to you specifically :) >P.S. One question - does anyone know when ppp for COM4 might be added? >Else, I will have to disable my COM1 and move my modem. When you get the boot: prompt, type in -c for a configuration menu, and adjust the drivers there. In the GENERIC kernel, you can have up to 4 serial devices, configured to use a wide variety of IO addresses and IRQs. Just set one of them for com4 (actually, com4 is already configured, just need to turn it on and check the IRQ -- I think it's set to IRQ2), and be on your way. -- Troy Settle <st@i-Plus.net> Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net
