We have tried using the standard MBR or BootEasy. Try the DD mode. I did a box yesterday that would not boot for the life of me without being dangerously dedicated. It has a pair of BusLogic 958 SCSI controllers on it. What I see is the BIOS saying "getting boot data from SCSI..OK" then "Missing Operating System" and it hangs. With DD mode, it boots just fine. I hope this doesn't cause problems with future FreeBSD versions that don't support DD disks. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
