I am not sure what you mean by changing the flags. Is this something that is done at kernel build time? I am now only using FreeBSD 2.1.6 whose boot disk seemed to show IDE disk read problems, so I just tried the 2.2.1 boot on the off chance something was fixed. Or is changing the flags something that can be done in one of the optional boot modes? Paul
