I'm very grateful. I almost lost my mind trying to get FreeBSD installed. The only strange issue is that I was having problems with the 10-12 install floppy, which you claim has been fixed. Someone should look into this, as it would suck for others to go through what I did. > Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <bri@OpenBSD.org> Thanks again, David
