It should be noted that I just tried 6.3-release-amd64 and it doesn't work as well. It should also be important to note that sometimes it 'dumps' before getting to the boot options screen in the freebsd startup. If I do get to that screen, I have tried "disable ACPI", to no effect. ~k _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
