Since the question about the atapi.flp comes up sooooooooooo often, and is likely to continue to come up since the "Complete FreeBSD" books that are already out there aren't going to get changed anytime soon (*grin*) has anyone given thought to symlink'ing boot.flp to atapi.flp on the ftp site and/or the CD's? I'm sure y'all could figure out a mechanism for letting the people know the "truth" somewhere down the road, but at least having a file that matched their expectations would get the newbies off and running. Personally I just tried it anyway and was pleasantly surprised that it worked...but then I'm prone to doing dangerous things like that. :) If there is a good reason not to do this I'll understand, but it would be nice if the first image people get of FreeBSD is a good (and successful) one, rather than frustration. blessings, Doug PS, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease tell me that someone has done an exhaustive search through all the docs and exorcised this particular daemon for 2.2? :)
