 I ama trying to install 5.0 dp2 (tried other boot disks as well, including
 4.7) on my new toshiba laptop.  Each and every time it locks up at the
 following 2 lines (it boots normally up to this point)
 
 pci0: Multimedia, audio at device 31.5 (no driver attached
 pci0: simple comms at device 31.6 (no driver attached)
 
 then nothing, it just sits there, 3 finger salute does not work. I have no
 way to disable anything in the bios unfortunately.
 
I had a similar problem with my Toshiba laptop (3005-S304).  While I'm
not currently running FreeBSD on it, I was able to get an install
booted by building a custom kernel _without_ SCSI support.  That was
based on a suggestion I received from someone on the -mobile mailing
list, but I don't recall who it was (sorry).

Anyway, that got a -stable (around 4.5 or 4.6) installation started,
and I was seeing the same problem as you, so hopefully that will help.

 have tried FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE, 4.5-PRERELEASE and

 problem is still persisted.

I generally test for tcsh like this:

if ( $?tcsh ) then
bindkey ^W backward-delete-word
endif

 Time to put the cvsup servers on the map with ICBM coordinates maybe?

I think that would actually be quite useful (or, at the very least,
purely informative).

  In that case I think I would like to loose the ',' also.
 
 While you're at it, why not use single word verbs:
 
   size (got 1234 wanted 5678)
   cksum (got 42424242 wanted 69696969)

Or perhaps:

size (got 1234 expected 5678)
cksum (got 42424242 expected 69696969)

Re: Integrating QMAIL in the world

 I have integrated the source of qmail so it can be built as part

 alternative for the mailer package to be built as part of a make

I don't recall the particulars (it's been a while since I've
managed a qmail installation), but aren't there issues with qmail's
distribution license that would make integrating it into the build
tree illegal?

As a side note, I don't think it's all that good of an idea to add
another MTA to the build tree, but I'm sure others will raise a
more substantial argument than I could.

I was under the impression that Polar Bears are native to the

 Is there anyone who is experienced Netscape crashes with 4.0-CURRENT when

 It happens to me with 4.61 and 4.70 , it doesn't happen with 3.2-STABLE I 
 have at work.

Yes, I've been experiencing that as well.  It writes a zero length
core file in my home directory and exits with signal 10:

Oct  1 16:20:53 void /kernel: pid 18518 (navigator-4.61.b), uid
1000: exited on signal 10

It's incredibly annoying, but I haven't bothered to track it down
in any great detail.
