The second slice is formatted for fbsd and I have been attempting to reinstall the freebsd os after an unfortunate formatting accident from my dos side, but am getting writing errors no matter how simple the install (even on the bins). I have a wcreek cd of FreeBSD v2.1.1, from the fall, which I had previously installed onto my drive using this method of loading from the 1st slice, but as that is not working I am in need of other options. In particular is there a functional atapi-cd boot.flp that could be used so that the installer would recognize my cdrom after boot so as to load from cd? Any thoughts would of use. <<<<<<<--------------->>>>>>> Michael Fitzpatrick McElhaney ============================= WPI Box 2829 phone:ext6394 100 Institute Road, Worcester Massachusetts, 0 1 6 0 9 <<<<<<<--------------->>>>>>>
