Actually, I've been using booteasy to boot FreeBSD off the 2nd hard drive for a little while now and it works great. And yes, I *did* get it from the tools directory at freebsd.cdrom.com. In fact, I learned about it from the FAQ, which is entirely correct. It should definitely say exactly what it does say, that you can get OS-BS and booteasy off the distribution sites. -- /----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Raymond L.
