IT FREEZES AFTER THE IT BOOTS, I DID DISABLE THE ACPI BUT IT STILL FROZE. IS THERE A WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? First of all, are you able to try a supported / non-dev version of FreeBSD (I'd strongly suggest 6.1-RELEASE)? If not, where does it get to before freezing? Last message on the screen? You've tried leaving it there for more than 30 seconds (my (rather old) CD drive takes half a minute or so to be probed)? > THANKS > > IOTA By the way, you might wanna check your caps lock / read up on netiquette (see RFC 1855) :-) -- Nick Withers email: nick@nickwithers.com Web: http://www.nickwithers.com Mobile: +61 414 397 446
