Hi Mike, No, the FreeBSD 6.4 does not work either. The same error happens again. Please refer to the attached picture. And it looks I can't login the Fedora 8 locally, by using the password hash from the BSD master.passwd file into the linux shadow file. How could I login locally, if I want to upgrade the kernel? By the way, may I ask how imageunzip decide the size of partition 1 and 2 on a local disk? I am a little curious about default partition size. Because we have RAID array of disks, so I want to make clear how much disk space left in each partition. Thanks. Best Regards, Cheng Cui . Frey Computing Services Center .

The bad check has no other effect than printing out the warning, so it is harmless. I put together a FreeBSD 6.4 GENERIC image, lets see how that works. You can download it from: http://www.emulab.net/downloads/FBSD64-GENERIC.ndz Load that into your first partition and lets see if it boots.
