Oops! I really meant the live file system. It is available on the FreeBSD installation CD. It gives you a shell on the system. Boot the installation CD Select "Fixit" Select "2 CDROM/DVD" At the prompt, enter the boot0cfg command. Type exit to return to sysinstall Exit sysinstall to reboot the system -- R.
