Maybe the Micronet version of the firmware is a bit more robust than the Adaptec aha. And yeah, I have a swap on both sd0 & sd1. cheers - Frank Now if I can only get the latest rev of -stable going.

Had 4 copies (two different files systems) going. }{ OK Congrats, seems your Micronet card is OK then. }{
