What do you mean by 2/3 of the way into the BIOS? Are you saying it only completes 2/3 of the POST? If so, it's not even getting to the point where it boots the CD. Or are you talking about 2/3 of the way through the kernel probes? If so, that's a problem I've seen a lot with Dells. In fact on a newly-purchased Dell 755, I couldn't get halfway through the POST about 75% of the time. Clearing the CMOS/RTC helped, and still about half of the time I boot into the FreeBSD kernel (7-STABLE) it would hang for no reason. Hitting the power button triggered an ACPI event to properly shutdown and restart, but it's damn annoying. > the bios just to make sure that nothing is wrong with them.

It was recommended that you burn the livefs CD and then boot *it*. That should also take care of the mounting. -- Rick C.
