:FWIW, FreeBSD 6.0 has no trouble booting from the machine I had this :problem on. : :-- :Francois Tigeot
With the disks set to 'Auto' mode instead of 'Large' mode? There's no real difference between FreeBSD's slice table and ours. There might be a difference with regards to the boot code using packet mode or not (configurable with boot0cfg), but generally speaking we want to use packet mode for the greatest compatibility with BIOSes. -Matt Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
