Does your screen goes blank just after the above message? If so, press [Enter] key, you should see the boot being continued, and "login:" waiting for input at the end. > PS I am conscious that I don't really know the etiquette around > here too well (apart from not mentioning the logo!) - I don't want > to clutter the list with messages of thanks when help is given, > but at the same time I don't want to seem ungrateful - which is > right? I think everybody appreciates the message when OP tells when/if the problem is solved. IMO, there is really no need to generate a message for each person; a combined (if applicable) public thank you note should be enough. Thanking people who have helped you give them the incentive to keep on helping you & others. - Parv -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
