You've probably got a Windows file system of a type it doesn't know about. F5 is just what it says it is - boot from drive 1 instead of drive 0. If you don't have a bootable OS on the second drive, you don't need it. I don't think you can turn it off, though. If this really bothers you, you need to install a different boot manager. I recommend grub, because it's free and has booted everything I've thrown at it. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
