I am posative its not meant to do this, it should start sysinstall. I am not exactly sure what to do from here on, should i specify ufs:da0s1a...would that be the location of the memory disk? Anyways, just thought I would ask/mention it to see if its me doing something odd or whether the disk needs some attention. Thanks in advance, Alex J Burke.
