Thanks VERY MUCH (and come collect your steak dinner at Cattlemen's Cafe in OKC, next time you're in the area) for the very quick response. I will be happy to try that, but need guidance. This is an install from CD (burned from FreeBSD-9.1-RC1-amd64-disc1.iso), and I don't know how to insert a loader hint in that process. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mi...@mikea.ath.cx Tired old sysadmin _______________________________________________ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-amd64-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
