These are in sync, so it shouldn't matter which one you get :-) The only proper fix for this on Mac hardware is to make it all EFI boot properly, but I gave up on that last time I tried (admittedly >1yr ago, so it may be better now). Apple don't support a full UEFI environment which is unhelpful. > I modified the code to be less strict for you case. Can you try this loader? > http://people.freebsd.org/~ae/loader Yes, this fixes it for 9.2 - I'll check 10 later but they both show the same problem so I think it will fix it. Thank you very much. What was the source change that fixed it? Thanks very much for the help, Paul. -- Paul Thornton
