Taking out all the peripherals didn't help, so the problem must be "essential" with respect to that computer. Unfortunately, my solution was to punt: I installed OpenBSD on that box. Maybe file a problem report and see if anything happens. Lucas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
