I actually did something similar -- if not exactly the same.. the best solution that I could come up with was to use BootIt NG (http://www.bootitng.com/) to boot the system. That was the only of the approximately 15 solutions that I tried that worked. Now, the PC in question is exclusively FreeBSD, so I don't have to worry about it.. but check out BootIt NG.. also, I'd be curious if anyone had any luck with other methods.. -- Kurt -- Kurt Claussen <bayp@sdf.lonestar.org> SDF Public Access Unix System -- http://sdf.lonestar.org
