Hi, and help(!) :) I just recently bought a new computer, and amongst other things I went for the ls-120 drive. However, it seems the silly thing won't boot the FreeBSD floppy! I'm using an Asus TX 97E main board, with bios support for booting from ls120/zip-drives. What happens when I boot the FreeBSD-disk, the familar boot options appear (wd(0,a)kernel, fd(0,a)kernel etc), but when I just press enter, the floppy disk starts working but can't find no kernel image. I know the disk is working on a different machine. The LS-120 is connected to my primary ide-interface as slave. I'm not sure what FreeBSD would call that in the boot-menu? And would it be possible to find the kernel image on the disk if it was referred to as an ide-device? What would it be called? wd(0,b)? Or wd(1,a)? As I upgraded from a laptop computer, I have no spare floppy drives lying about, so basically I'm stuck now with Windows. ,-) Thanks, Ronny Jordalen
