Thanks Phillip, > 1) you can have a boot hint in file /boot/loader.conf to say where the > system should take the root file system (and therefore /etc/fstab) from. This would work if the OS was able to detect the disk. In this case, after I boot the STABLE installation, i do not see any hard drive detected. With this entry, I dont think it would boot since FreeBSD cannot see the disk. I will give it a try and get back to you. -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------
