If not then your MBR might have been corrupted. Is it a constant tone or is it just an error beep when you hit a key? I don't remember if boot0 makes a beep on a bad key or not. Is FreeBSD the only operating system you have on the system? You might try chosing not to use a boot manager if it is the only OS. -- Ryan "leadZERO" Sommers Gamer's Impact President ryans@gamersimpact.com ICQ: 1019590 AIM/MSN: leadZERO -= http://www.gamersimpact.com =-
