I've tryed things like "/dev/ad1s1", "/dev/ad1s1/freebsd", "/dev/ad1s1:freebsd", "/export" (after I mounted that disk). But nothing seems to work, the installer just spits in my face and cleans all settings I've made each time. Does anyone have a clue of the path that is required for it to find the binaries? (As you might have noticed they lie on the first partition of the first slave disk in a directory called /freebsd). /Martin von Schantz _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
