If you press any key during the first spinner, you should get a prompt similar to the following: >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader boot: You can then enter the name of the program you wish to run - eg /boot/loader.old (or directly load /boot/kernel/kernel) See the following for a more complete description: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=boot&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE&format=html Alternatively, you could boot off a "live filesystem" CD. -- Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
