If you have a spare box, I strongly suggest to remove the internal HD and get a connector to use it in the place of the "normal" HD. I have bought one and I usually use it to install the system for toshiba libretto. When you have finished to install FreeBSD you put the HD in Sony Vaio again... I know it is long and boring operation, but sometimes it is the last chance... :-) Best Regards, Gianmarco Giovannelli , "Unix expert since yesterday" http://www.giovannelli.it/~gmarco http://www2.masternet.it To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
