What can I do? I don't think I'm the best person to give advice on this, since I'm a newbie at FreeBSD 2.1. Anyhow, two things come to my mind right now: 1) try the fixit disk? 2) boot into MSDOS with floppy, then "fdisk /mbr" to recreate the master boot record. [You can reinstall the booteasy from FreeBSD later] Patrick
