It's an HP Pavilion with Intel i7 CPU.
On the advice of someone on IRC, I downloaded an image and wrote it to a thumb drive. I booted the thumb drive and got the same error, except that this time it was /dev/da8s1a that it couldn't find. This is a 4 GB thumb drive; the GUI image is 3997171712 bytes, so I figured it should fit. But dd said at 3880452096 bytes that it reached the end of device. What gives? Still it should be able to mount the partition; darner has no trouble mounting it. Pierre -- Don't buy a French car in Holland. It may be a citroen.
