If you're on amd64, try the daily image, as it's based on kfreebsd 8.2. Otherwise try an upstream kernel image (e.g. from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/8.2-RELEASE/kernels/). Don't expect it to work when combined with D-I but at least we'll know if your boot problem is fixed there. Or you could even try FreeBSD 9.0-RC1 installer (http://www.freebsd.org/where.html#helptest). If that works, we can probably adjust the Debian one without much difficulty. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
