The bootloader failed when trying to load installed from CD-ROM on pretty much every PIII and old Celeron pc which i tried. (it is about 6 machines by now). Very weird and i have no idea to how help to solve the problem. Right, however it means you need a floppy drive - and I've gone floppiless for my machines... :-) ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
