Hello: I installed 3.1-R (via FTP) onto a 486 (EISA) computer with one SCSI disk (Adaptec 1740 controller). After the installation, upon bootup, I was greeted with the standard Booteasy menu: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F5 Disk0 I thought it was puzzling that the "Disk 0" entry was there because there is only one drive. Pressing F1 or F2 didn't do anything, so I pressed F5, and I was presented with another Booteasy menu: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD This time F2 worked, and FreeBSD booted. On subsequent boots, I still get the same menu sequence. The annoying thing is the first menu doesn't do its default action. So I have to hit F5 and then F1 or F2. Does anyone have an explanation for this? I would greatly appreciate any help with this! -- PETER SCHWENK | UNIX System Administrator Department of Mathematical Sciences | University of Delaware schwenk@math.udel.edu | (302)831-0437 <-NEW!!!
