I dont recall exactly :( SC_NO_FONT_LOADING was one of them, I may have
commented one of the others in the old conf trying to fix it. I have a
spare comp with a freebsd install I could play around with it on and see
if I can recreate it instead of goofing around with my server that had the

Hi!
Please excuse me, this is my first time posting
a question. I know you people are only answering
out of courtesy, and I appreciate any replies I may get.
I was using FreeBSD 4.0 successfully with
IPFW and Sound enabled.

Just one more report to add to the ps2 mouse discussion:
Today I moved from 4.0 to -CURRENT. Now my mouse jumps around like

I tried using a different mouse. I tried using NOCHECKSYNC (even
though I'm not getting the messages). I tried this both w

Greetings,
What is the quick way to restore the boot manager (dual os). Lost it when I
reloaded Win98.
Have 4.0 CD, machine running 5.0-current.
