What > does your present boot screen/menu look like? What I was using is the one like this: F1: ??? F2: FreeBSD So I guess that means I was using the FBSD loader, right? However, while I was waiting for a response to my question, I sucked down a cold one while installing BootMagic. BM seems to have wiped out the above scheme. BM has now taken over, and when I choose fbsd, i get some initial fbsd errors like can't find kernel, etc., but then it goes ahead and boots anyway to the correct kernel. Go figure.
