It was totally uneventful. In the past some have reported it helpful for FreeBSD to learn "geometry" to use a Microsoft fdisk to create the initial partitioning of the HD, even if the first thing you do in FreeBSD sysinstall is wipe that partition table. In my case with the Seagate 9G HD I had made and installed a 1G NTFS partition earlier. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
