Good evening, Free BSD enthusiasts. Thank you to each of the several people who have responded to my previous messages. I have made significant progress, but am now flummoxed at the installation of the boot loader. The handbook says to run this command, "boot0cfg -B ad0". When I run this command, I get the following error message: "Unable to get providername for ad0". What is a provider name? How do I determine the provider name for ad0? How do I communicate that information to boot0cfg? I know that this problem has something to do with the "geom" command, but the "man geom" goes on for many pages. While I think the answer may be in there somewhere, I could not find it. Any and all comments will be appreciated. Sincerely, Newby Lee
