Without more details of the problem, it's impossible to know what's giving you grief. Some possibles : Have you added FreeBSD to the bootmangler menu? (Use OS/2's fdisk for this). Is the FreeBSD root filesystem on an IDE disk, and beyond the 500M mark? Are you using "Disk Manager" or some other IDE "disk driver" software? > Paul Crowe -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
