- The optional BIOS ROMs don't play nice with other extension cards
you
might have on a busy system. You might want to disable them and
leave
the disk initialization to FreeBSD.
How does one disable the BIOS ROMs on expansion cards? Is this
specific to the AOC-SAT2-MV8, or can you do this on the mainboard?
Sounds like the sort of thing they would hide in the mainboard BIOS
somewhere. I have a couple of JMB363 cards that I think would work
better without the BIOS ROMs. Unfortunately I have never run across
any sort of "turn off expansion card BIOS ROM" option.
Yes, you should be able to disable this from the mainboard by saying
you
don't want to use the Option ROM on Slot #X.
Took the machine down and waded through the BIOS menus.
The Phoenix AwardBIOS does not appear to have this feature. :-(
Thanks anyway.
