First thing I did. It was set active. This also happened on a 2.0 gig SCSI drive I had, but I reinstalled after making a 100meg dos partitiion in front. Boots now. AH2940 controller. Seagate drive. BTW I would love to know what the problem was, but I nuked the whole thing accidentally by mounting sd0 on my fixit floppy and trying to get the drive to boot from various suggestions I found in the archives. BOOM. lockup followed by the fixit floppy telling me that the drive was not a BSD drive so I could no longer mount it. OH well... 1014 is running as we speak. Thanks for the suggestion. Jeremy
