My resolution was to remove the hard drive, place it into a machine I knew was capable of installing freeBSD and installing it. Am now in the process of putting it back into its original case to make sure it all worked ok. I'm a bit frustrated, but what can you do? It would be impossible for the freeBSD team to cater to all the corner cases. - -- Eric Mesa ericsbinaryworld@gmail.com http://www.ericsbinaryworld.com Note: All emails from this address should have a GPG signature.
