I have to have the entire wd0a within the reach of the BIOS(under first 504MB(?)). I now have a partition that resides entirely under the limit, and another partition that stores /usr. This was stated in the FAQ, sorry about the ignorance. However, but I do remember I had only one partition that goes beyond the reach of the BIOS, and worked fine for 2.0R. Hmm..now I finally got my freebsd back to work :) Chun Chiu -------------------------------- email: cchiu@uclink.berkeley.edu
