I couldn't get it to break out, but I did find some other information: 1.0A CD: works 11/18/2004 stable image: works 1.2.5 RELEASE CD: crashes as described (LATEST image from chlamidiya) 1.2.0 RELEASE CD: prints this: CD Loaded 1.01 Building the boot loader arguments Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found Reloacting the loader and the BTX Starting the BTX loader and then it freezes. When did we significantly change from the FreeBSD boot loader, and does it intersect with this time frame? I suppose I can install 1.0A and update, though it'll take a looong time on an older laptop like this.
