Hmm, this looks like a complicated issue. The external (usb) hard drive have the 7.0-current snapshot on partition 1 (da0s1) and 6.2-beta1 on partition 2 (da0s2). On another machine (a desktop AMD machine which normally runs FreeBSD 6.1-stable (amd64) I can boot the first partition (da0s1), but if I try to boot the second partition, it just beeps. I'll have to do more tests. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
