Boot using -c to change the settings until you find a correct one. Then make a new kernel with the correct values. I think that you need to power off then power on the computer to switch DOS/FreeBSD and FReeBSD/DOS (not sure about that). If you have a pci computer, unset plug&play capabilities in the bios and in the card. I also heard that some port/irq choices are slower than others??? -------- -------- Philippe Charnier charnier@lirmm.fr LIRMM, 161 rue Ada, 34392 Montpellier cedex 5 -- France ------------------------------------------------------------------------
