I rebooted. It froze after probing ad0. I powered off. I removed the spare battery. I rebooted. Froze again, same place. I put in the CD drive, it booted fine. I swapped out the CD drive and put the battery back in. This time I did a verbose boot. In short: both batteries are seen in the probing. ad0 is probed pcm0 is measured fdc0: output ready timeout [repeat above line 7 times] GEOM: new disk ad0 Screen shot here: http://www.langille.org/tmp/100_2831.jpg Ideas?
