There is no floppy connector on the motherboard and no floppy drive options= in the BIOS. =20 > Also, do you get any extra info out of the system if you select "boot > with verbose logging" from the boot menu? After=20 Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0 I get: Start_init: trying /sbin/init Start_init: trying /sbin/oinit Start_init: trying /sbin/init.bak Start_init: trying /rescue/init Start_init: trying /stand/sysinstall /stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0 GEOM_LABEL: Label ufsid/49faae8a8342179f removed. I have left it like this for now see if anything else appears. I'll have this hardware until tomorrow at which point they going to take it= away from me :-) Indecently 7.2 i386 will install?
