Hi J?rgen, thanks for your time. This is all the output I can see: pseudo0 is /pseudo scsi_vhci0 at root scsi_vhci0 is /scsi_vhci isa0 at root pseudo-device: acpi ppm0 acpi ppm0 is /pseudo/acpippm at 0 pseudo-device: ppm0 ppm0 is /pseudo/ppm at 0 ramdisk0 is /ramdisk root on /ramdisk:a fstype ufs SMBIOS v2.4 loaded (1186 bytes)/cpus (cpunex0) online cpu0 at cpus0 /cpus/cpu at 0(cpudrv0) online pseudo-device: dld0 dld0 is /pseudo/dld at 0 npe0 at root: space0 offset0 npe0 is /pci at 0,0 PCI Express-device: pci8086,d138 at 3,pcie_pci0 NOTICE: Kernel debugger present: disabling console power management PCI Express-device: pci1458,5006 at 1a,7, ehci0 ehci0 is /pci at 0,0/pci1458,5006 at 1a,7 PCI Express-device: pci1458,5006 at 1d,7, ehci1 ehci1 is /pci at 0,0/pci1458,5006 at 1d,7 ... that's it. My motherboard has more usb host controllers than this btw: should be 9. I don't know if pci8086,d138 at 3,pcie_pci0 could be the graphics card? After all, I can read these messages ;) -- Frank Van Damme I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, F6, quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, init 0, kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... ...
