It used to be the default boot0 a few years ago, but there were a few machines that it would hang on that I don't think were ever worked around/fixed, so it was reverted. It should work on most x86 machines just fine however. You should be able to use boot0cfg to install it still. -- John Baldwin <jhb_at_FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.orgReceived on Tue Jul 12 2005 - 16:31:12 UTC
