(^--^) You need to enable packet mode in boot0 for it to work. It should have done this automatically during install. Try booting into the installer and using the disc2 live filesystem CD in the fixit menu. You can then use boot0cfg off of the CD to try to see if packet mode is enabled. If it's not, enable it and see if it works for Linux and BSD. -- John Baldwin <jhb_at_FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.orgReceived on Fri Jan 16 2004 - 10:59:37 UTC
