Not sure what you mean by this. This may indicate a system that does not support CD native booting.

Setting flags in 5.X involves tweaking hints which is slightly non-inutitive, but you should be able to change it in userconfig on 4.X. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
