The card is detected and also configured while the install process, but every try to connect to a ftp server fails. Sadly, another problem occured after rebooting. The slave harddisk had debian on it before the installation of BSD with grub written into the MBR. The problem is, i seems that bsd writes its own bootloader into th MBR of the slave harddisk. So grub is still in the master's MBR but the config files are of course not addressable. So is it possible to instruct the sysinstall to write its bootloader to the mbr of the master harddisk and detect and conigure winxp for dual boot? Thanks Timm
