Not on boot though, since I wasn't booting off that drive itself, but from an IDE drive. When I tried to a 'disklabel' on the drive, I would get those errors, and then the appropriate "geometry/label" for the drive. Peter suggested performing a scsiformat on the drive, which I have, and I no longer get those errors. Whether it relates or not, I don't know, but figured it might help in some way...:) Marc G.
