I'm now watching it boot successfully on a Gigabyte GA-8I915PC Duo board. I'm going to try dumping a Linux distro on this USB disk after I get PCBSD 9.0-BETA2 installed. That way I can try to eliminate the USB disk as being "funny". (Although it's quite possible the USB disk is doing other funny things.) I really do think that this BIOS of mine dislikes a GPT partition inside an MBR/DOS setup. If this is the case, I wonder how many other motherboard/BIOSes have this problem. Adrian
