If I knew how to make a boot disk with these options enabled for you I would, but I havn't gotten quite that far in my exploration of FreeBSD. (You might try installing off the NET if you have Internet access. Just get the basic binaries and the kernel src. It only takes about 2 hours at 28.8) Good luck! Paul Flores
