To whom it may consern, After setting up Freebsd on a 486dx2 Machine. I played around with the sysconfig file in an attempt to get the Machine to boot without hanging when the network was not present. I was totally unsuccessful. When BSD boots without the network attached; it hangs at loading the mail deamon. I know that system V has init levels and I could start it using single user mode. Is this true for FreeBSD? All I've read on BSD indicates to me that I can not. Other suggestions for changing paramaters for booting FreeBSD attached to 1 nothing, and/or 2 a LAN (using only a HUB and one other computer) would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Daniel ---------------------------------------------------------- + Daniel Reid English / Computer sci + dreid@execulink.com B.Ed program at Western + dreid@edu.uwo.ca Graduate of York U. ----------------------------------------------------------
