Re: FreeBSD hangs at boot
Daniel, the only thing i can think of at the moment is go on removing hardware. remove the cd, the slave-hd etc. i can understand if you are not happy about it, it is your decision. regards, usleep On 4/6/06, Daniel A.

Also look for BIOS and Firmware upgrades from mylex to improve performance and reliability. -- -Ryan Merrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
