What you need to do is install FreeBSD (I go through the Novice installation), choose the drive you wish to run FreeBSD on (in your case, wd1), create the partition (do not make it the entire partition - if you want to, choose entire disk and then choose retain compatibility, make it bootable, choose to install Bootmgr, and that's it (or at least that worked for me)! --- Khetan Gajjar Visit at http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ UUNet-Internet Africa Operations help@iafrica.com or 0800-030-002
