Mistakes often lead to the greatest discoveries. I had made a CD, thinking I'd have to go through the same process of an mfsroot. Booted the sucker, no errors, and I was about to fall over.

Glad to enlighten you. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
