I did a couple installs using normal slices and standard MBR, and when the machine restarted, I got the "Operating System Missing" error... the only way I was able to install on the system was to use dangerous dedicated mode... I've seen this happen a couple times w/ 3.0-R and 3.1-19990328-STABLE IIRC... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 541 684 8449 Cu Networking P.O.
