When you see the "boot:" prompt, hit <space> and then type 'boot -v' and watch your system boot. Then send the list the detailed information about the sis0 driver (use the dmesg command once you've booted.) What's probably happening is that we're not recognizing the PHY device that the sis900 uses, or the card itself is doing something wierd. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
