Not sure whether it's the same problem, but when i recently installed FreeBSD on a new HP Netserver LC, i noticed that they didn't even try to boot the harddisk if there was no valid fdisk table on it. Sh*t!, i can't stand fdisk tables, und thus normally dump BSD right from sector 0. I ended up using a `sliced' disk on that machine, with a regular fdisk table, and BSD sitting in one of the table slots only. HP is becoming a Windows company these days. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
