i dont know much about plextors, but here is what i can tell you. i had trouble booting from the 639meg .iso i downloaded from ftp.freebsd.org The problem is, all i did was a copy and paste , thinking that it would copy everything. and it did, but i later realized that i should have burned it as a BOOTABLE IMAGE, and not just copy it. maybe you will learn something out of this. good luck --- Eric Jacoboni <jaco@teaser.fr> > wrote: >>>>>> "Joachim" == Joachim Strömbergson <watchman@ludd.luth.se> writes: > >>> Mine is the previous model : 12/10/32A.
