Thanks for your input, I seems NanoBSD specific, while I have been trying different disk geometrics and multiple cf-cards on NanoBSD I was not succesfull yet. With TinyBSD and mfsBSD I am able to create bootable images, for WRAP 1C and 2E. If I find a solution for NanoBSD, I 'll post it, thanks, Marten -- http://www.voedselbankleiden.nl needs your help! http://martenvijn.nl http://bsd.wifisoft.org/nek/ http://opencommunitycamp.org OCC 2010 ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
