I tried to install our CD/FDD-less servers from a CD-RW drive connected on the USB port, the bootloader complains about "not ufs" and wants me to enter a new boot device. This is 4.9-Release On a late October current the system reboots. I'll try with a fresh 5.2-BETA later today and see what happens with it. in the meantime I just want to ask: Is booting the install CD over a USB connected CDROM supposed to be working? --- Martin Nilsson, CTO & Founder, Mullet Scandinavia AB, Malmö, SWEDEN E-mail: martin@mullet.se, Phone: +46-(0)708-606170, http://www.mullet.se Our business is well engineered servers optimized for FreeBSD and Linux.
