Chances are this could be cured by some different hardware setting, though I'm not familiar enough with your hardware to suggest anything. If you're keen to experiment, we could probably work out some patches for you to install locally. However, all of the boot managers supplied with FreeBSD are designed to fit into a single 512-byte sector, so space is probably too tight to warrant offering this as a standard option. An alternative might be to try one of the various freeware, shareware, or commercial boot managers available. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
