I thought maybe the BIOS just needed to be upgraded, but according to AST's web page I'm currently running the latest upgrade of the BIOS. It could be that this machine is just so old that they haven't bothered to create new BIOS code for it. Thanks for all of the suggestions, guys! I'll check the AST web page again and also look into other boot managers. /raj To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
