As a test install, i don't have splitted my / partition so i think it's make sense to use softupdates on it for me.: /dev/wd0s2a on / (local, writes: sync 835 async 1789) /dev/wd1s4e on /usr/local (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 2 async 229) /dev/wd0s3 on /usr/src (local, soft-updates, writes: sync 2 async 0) Perhaps, creating a boot floppy with tunefs on it ? -- --------------------------------------------------- Éric Jacoboni « No sport! » (W.
